                 Appeal No. 2002-0342                                                                                   Page 7                     
                 Application No. 09/295,399                                                                                                        


                         Himmer has been added to the other two references in the rejection of claim 7,                                            
                 which adds to claim 1 the requirement that there be circumferential grooves provided on                                           
                 the guide band.  Be this as it may, Himmer does not alleviate the problems set out                                                
                 above with regard to the rejection of claim 1 on the basis of the British and German                                              
                 references, and we will not sustain the rejection of claim 7.                                                                     
















                                                               CONCLUSION                                                                          
                         Neither rejection is sustained.
