               Appeal No. 2006-1437                                                                                                   
               Application No. 10/782,161                                                                                             

                       Ikeya thus supports the examiner’s finding of anticipation with respect to instant                             
               claim 8.  Moreover, we find no response from appellant in the briefs as to why moving                                  
               the cover 12 of Ikeya from a closed to an open position fails to meet the terms of                                     
               moving a load plate as claimed.                                                                                        
                       As appellant has not persuaded us of error in the rejection of any claim on                                    
               appeal, we sustain the rejections under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103.                                                      


                                                          CONCLUSION                                                                  
                       The rejection of claims 1, 4, 8, and 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and the rejection of                             
               claims 1-4 and 8-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are affirmed.
