          Appeal No. 2006-0812                                                          
          Application No. 09/391,294                                                    
          interpret “single member” as a building member, which is inclusive            
          of multiple components fixed together to become that member.                  
               As such, the portions are encompassed by the perimeter of the            
          metal flange and wooden portions of Hauck.  The metal flange,                 
          while extending from itself, comprises a segment of each first and            
          second portion, and therefore anticipates a flange extending from             
          the portion.                                                                  
               Accordingly, we shall sustain this rejection as it relates to            
          claims 1, 2, 4, and 5.                                                        
                                   Summary of Decision                                  
               The rejection of claims 1-2 and 4-5 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)             
          over Hauck is SUSTAINED.                                                      












                                                                                       
          (Section 508 Compliance).                                                     
                                          12
