          Appeal No. 2001-0206                                                        
          Application 08/959,964                                                      


          32 and 33 and dependent claims 3 through 7, 12, 24 and 25 as                
          being anticipated by Barker.                                                
          III. The 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection based on Martin                       
               Martin discloses an adjustably-mounted bicycle seat 40                 
          comprising a rectangular base 42, padding 44 and a covering                 
          46.  In short, Martin’s disclosure of this seat suffers the                 
          same deficiencies with respect to the limitations in claims 32              
          and 33 as does Barker’s disclosure.                                         
               Accordingly, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C.               
          § 102(b) rejection of claims 32 and 33 as being anticipated                 
          by Martin.                                                                  



















                                          9
