            FRANKFORT and MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judges.                      
                                                                                     
            MCCANDLISH, Senior Administrative Patent Judge.                           

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                 This is a decision on an appeal from the examiner’s                  
            final rejection of claims 1 through 5, 7 through 10 and 15                
            through 20.1                                                              
                 Appellant’s invention relates to a vehicle having a                  
            frame (30), ground-engaging wheels (50) on the frame and a                
                                                                                      
            1 It does not appear that the examiner has appropriately                  
            dealt with amendment D (Paper No. 14) filed with the main                 
            brief on April 28, 1997.  The record does not reflect the                 
            status of claims 23, 24, 34 and 35.  Amendment D, however,                
            has no bearing on the rejected claims under appeal.
