          Application No. 29/015,807                                                  


          have suggested only that the rectilinearly straight working edge            
          of Hyde be modified to have shoulders extending from each side at           
          a 45° angle to converge on a forwardly extending central tooth as           
          taught by Gallagher.                                                        


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject the               
          claim under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
