          GARRIS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection of            
          claims 1-9 which are all of the claims in the application.                  
               The subject matter on appeal relates to a cables arrester in           
          combination with an energized-fluid conduit comprising a                    
          plurality of cables confined within the conduit and means                   
          removably fixed to a wall surface within the conduit for holding            
          the plurality of cables in spaced-apart disposition.  This                  
          appealed subject matter is adequately illustrated by independent            
          claim 1 which reads as follows:
