         Appeal No. 1999-1719                                    Page 8          
         Application No. 08/787,700                                              


         view that Harbom does not teach or suggest a J-channel member           
         integral with a door frame and containing integral drains as            
         recited in claim 7.  Accordingly, we will not sustain the               
         examiner's rejection of claim 7 as being anticipated by Harbom          
         under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).                                               


              Claims 2 through 6 depend from claim 1 and the examiner's          
         rejection of claims 2 through 6 will not be sustained for the           
         same reasons as stated above with respect to claim 1.                   


              Claims 8 through 12 depend from claim 7 and the                    
         examiner's rejection of claims 8 through 12 will not be                 
         sustained for the same reasons as stated above with respect to          
         claim 7.                                                                





                                   CONCLUSION                                    
              To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject               
         claims 1 through 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is reversed.
