The examiner relies on the following references:
Moritz et al. (Moritz) 3,582,189 June 01, 1971
Dickie et al. (Dickie) 4,686,576 Aug. 11, 1987
Kuhlman et al. (Kuhlman) 4,910,090 Mar. 20, 1990
Claims 22-26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, for failing to particularly point out and
distinctly claim the invention. Claims 22-26 also stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness
the examiner offers Kuhlman in view of Dickie or Moritz.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner, the arguments
in support of the rejections and the evidence of obviousness
