          Appeal No. 95-1844                                                          
          Application 07/822,063                                                      


          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answers for               
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of anticipation and obviousness relied upon by the                 
          examiner as support for the rejections.  We have, likewise,                 
          reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our                      
          decision, the appellant’s arguments set forth in the briefs                 
          along with the examiner's rationale in support of the                       
          rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the                       
          examiner's answers.                                                         
          It is our view, after consideration of the record                           
          before us, that the disclosure of Lehrmann does fully meet the              
          invention as recited in claim 5.  We are also of the view that              
          the collective evidence relied upon and the level of skill in               
          the particular art would have suggested to one of ordinary                  
          skill in the art the obviousness of the invention as set forth              
          in claims 1-3, 6, 7, 10-24, 26 and 27.  We reach the opposite               


                                          4
