          Application No. 08/852,681                                                  


               Claim 1 reads on Demurger as follows:                                  
          A wrench (wrench 1) comprising: a handle (handle 2) formed                  
          entirely of non-metallic material; and a head (head 3, 4) at                
          an end of the handle, said head including a non-metallic body               
          (head 3, 4 is non-metallic), a metal workpiece-engaging member              
          (the part of the metal insert 10, 11 by walls 12-15)                        
          encompassed by said body so as to secure said member to said                
          body, and a reinforcing structure (the part of the metal                    
          insert 10, 11 remote from walls 12-15) embedded in said body                
          and encompassing said workpiece-engaging member.  With regard               
          to claim 3, we note Demurger's through holes 22, 23, 24                     
          through which the plastic passes during injection.                          


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 1 to 3, 5, 26, 28 and 29 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                    
          reversed; and new rejections of claims 1 to 3, 5, 26, 28 and                
          29 have been added pursuant to provisions of 37 CFR §                       
          1.196(b).
