Decision on Appeal and Opinion
We have carefully considered the record in this appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134, and based
on our review, find that we cannot sustain the rejection of appealed claims 19 through 22 under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Favre in view of Kishpaugh, Southall and Dalton
(answer, pages 3-5).1
We refer to the answer and to the brief and reply brief for a complete exposition of the
positions advanced by the examiner and appellants.
1 Claims 19 through 22 are all of the claims in the application.
