          Appeal No. 96-2391                                                          
          Application 08/002,286                                                      


          teachings of the admitted prior art, Larson, Buescher and Falce,            
          we conclude that the applied prior art would not have suggested             
          the invention as set forth in the claims on appeal.  Accordingly,           
          we also do not sustain this rejection of the claims.                        
          In conclusion, we have not sustained any of the                             
          examiner’s rejections of the claims.  Therefore, the decision of            
          the examiner rejecting claims 1-20 is reversed.                             
          REVERSED
