         Appeal No. 2001-0463                                     Page 10          
         Application No. 09/250,863                                                


              Since all the limitations of claim 1 are not disclosed in            
         Gille for the reasons set forth above, the decision of the                
         examiner to reject claim 1, and claims 2 to 9 dependent                   
         thereon, under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) is reversed.                            


         The obviousness rejection                                                 
              We have also reviewed the reference to Damisch applied               
         with Gille in the rejection of dependent claim 10 but find                
         nothing therein which makes up for the deficiencies of Gille              
         discussed above with respect to parent claim 1.  Accordingly,             
         we cannot sustain the examiner's rejection of appealed claim              
         10 under                                                                  
         35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                          


                                    CONCLUSION
