contains a first and a second end wall.5 The elastic element (42) is located in the first
and second receptacles between the first end wall and the second end wall.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, based on the totality of the record, we affirm the
rejection of claims 21 to 25, 40, 41 and 57 to 59 under the judicially created
doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 3,
4, 27, 34-37 of U.S. Patent No. 6,282,992. We reverse the remaining rejections.
5 Note the “v” shaped wall of receptacle (43) appears to function as one wall for the peg and a separate
wall for the spring.
