          Appeal No. 95-4134                                                          
          Application 08/099,090                                                      


          of Figures 11 and 12; and pockets (76, 78) of Figures 13 and                
          14.                                                                         

          Moreover, as indicated in the above-quoted portion of                       
          appellant's originally filed specification (page 2), the                    
          purpose of the insert of the present invention is to "provide               
          additional storage in a typical pad holder so as to enable the              
          user to store and carry additional items in the pad holder                  
          without the need to resort to a portfolio or briefcase." In                 
          this regard, it is further indicated on page 2 of the                       
          specification, that the insert should be available in a number              
          of different configurations to hold a variety of different                  
          items, such as computer diskettes, a calculator, keys and                   
          coins, and so forth.  Thus, we understand the "holder means"                
          set forth in appellant's independent claim 1 to require some                
          form of pocket or other structure which permits holding,                    
          storing and carrying of an item (such as those noted above) in              
          the insert and in the pad holder when such insert is placed                 
          therein.                                                                    

          Like appellant, we find no "holder means," as defined                       
          above, in those portions of Bisberg's folder pointed to by the              
                                          9
