DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's
refusal to allow claims 21 through 24 and 26 as amended subse-
quent to the final rejection in a paper filed November 29,
1994 (Paper No. 9) and from the examiner's refusal to allow
new claim 27 added in Paper No. 9. Claims 21 through 24, 26
and 27 are all of the claims remaining in the application.
Claims 1 through 20 and 25 have been canceled.

ing bag that is suitable for use by boaters, rafters and the
like. Independent claim 21 is representative of the subject
matter on appeal and a copy of that claim is appended to this
decision.

the examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
