          Appeal No. 2000-2024                                                        
          Application No. 09/059,207                                                  


          device 184 would still not further pivot to place the article               
          on the panel, as required by claim 24.                                      
               The rejection of claim 24 therefore will not be                        
          sustained.                                                                  
          Conclusion                                                                  
               The examiner's decision to reject claims 1, 3, 5 to 22                 
          and 24 to 26 under § 103(a) is sustained as to claims 10 to 14              
          and 17 to 21, and is reversed as to claims 1, 3, 5 to 9, 15,                
          16, 22, and 24 to 26.                                                       
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
