Appeal No. 97-0032
Application No. 08/095,295
conventional snap fasteners allows the two parts to be separated
and reattached. On the other hand, appellants' structure shown
in Figure 4B appears to be a permanent attachment without any
shown structure which would allow separation and reattachment.
Thus, the references in my view do not suggest the specific
"pivot means" disclosed in the specification or a structure
equivalent to that structure.
