Appeal No. 96-3463 Application 08/514,835 die from the disparate teachings of either Wheeler and Inoue and incorporate into the device of Hauk (who already teaches an arrangement to prevent slippage by allowing both gripping dies to move rotatably) in order to "allow for better gripping and ungripping" as the examiner proposes to do. This being the case, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 15, 17, 21 and 24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hauk in view of Wheeler or Inoue. The examiner's rejections of the appealed claims 35 U.S.C. § 103 are reversed. REVERSED JAMES M. MEISTER ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) CHARLES E.
