The following rejections are before us for consideration:
I. Claims 14-18, 20-26, 28-30 and 33 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 for obviousness based upon Phillips in
view of Oldshue, Richter or Bosenius, and further in view of
Henricson.
II. Claims 19, 27, 31 and 32 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C. § 103 for obviousness based upon the combination of
1Appellant's brief indicates that Canadian 2,031,848 is
an English language equivalent of the German Bosenius patent.
Accordingly, all references to Bosenius in our decision will
be with respect to the Canadian equivalent.
