                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
          This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                      
          rejection of claims 1 through 4, all of the claims pending in the           
          application.                                                                

          Appellants' invention relates to a double-chuck mechanical                  
          pencil having an adapter (3) combined with the pencil's barrel              
          (1) and lead tank (4) so that the back chuck (5) and front chuck            
          (11) are able to slide axially within the barrel, but are                   
          restrained from rotation relative to the barrel and each other.
