         Application No. 09/337,492                                                 

         language set forth on page 9 of the specification, which                   
         discloses that “[s]hould there be a slight discrepancy in the              
         intended spacing of intervals H and H’ after initial assembly,             
         they can be corrected by adjusting the space between surface 33            
         of latching members 5 and surface 31 of frame 11.  This                    
         additional interval is labeled H” in Fig. 1.  This is possible             
         because the flexibility of the flexible supports 15 allows for             
         the position of switch structure 6 to be adjusted.  As such, the           
         intervals H and H’ can be precisely controlled by altering the             
         surplus interval H”.  The ability to adjust intervals H and H’             
         helps prevent the malfunction of pressure switch 8.”                       
              In                                            addition, the           
         specification                                      discloses a             
         second                                             embodiment of           
         the invention.                                     As shown in             
         renumbered                                         figure 6                
         (originaly                                         filed figure            
         7):
