assisting in vertical lifting of said desktop above said support
stand and for locking said desktop in vertical position above

The references of record relied upon by the examiner in a
rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are:
Guglielmi 3,080,835 Mar. 12, 1963
Sema 4,703,700 Nov. 3, 1987
Pülz (German 25 39 713 Mar. 17, 1977
Offenlegungsschrift)4
Claims 4, 5 and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Pülz in view of Guglielmi and Sema.
Rather than reiterate the examiner's statement of the
above rejections and the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the
examiner and the appellant, we refer to pages 4 and 5 of the
examiner's answer, to the supplemental answer (Paper No. 21),
to pages 2 through 4 of the appellant's brief and to the reply
brief for the full exposition thereof.
Our understanding of this reference results from our reading of a4
translation of this reference which was prepared for the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. A copy of the translation has been appended to this
decision for the convenience of the appellant.
