          Appeal No. 97-0519                                                          
          Application 08/291,719                                                      



          42 on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will likewise not be                     
          sustained.                                                                  


                    As should be apparent from the foregoing, the                     
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9                  
          through 28, 37, 41 and 42 of the present application is                     
          reversed.                                                                   


                    Under the provisions of 37 CFR § 1.196(b), we enter               
          the following new ground of rejection against claims 18 and 19              
          on appeal.                                                                  


                    Claims 18 and 19 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103               
          as being unpatentable over Hall in view of Dosch.  Hall                     
          discloses a portable breathing apparatus generally like that                
          set forth in                                                                
          appellant’s claims 18 and 19 on appeal, except that the                     
          breathing apparatus of Hall does not include "means for                     
          providing a loca- tion of said apparatus in darkness" as in                 
          claim 18 on appeal, and                                                     

                                         10
