          Appeal No. 2001-0154                                                        
          Application No. 08/838,266                                                  


          and 17 under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over                       
          Corcoran.  We will not sustain this rejection because Corcoran              
          does not disclose or suggest a bracket having a curtain rod                 
          adaptor sized and shaped to receive an end of a curtain rod as              
          is recited in claim 11 from which claims 16 and 17 depend.                  


















               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
