          Appeal No. 97-0740                                                          
          Application 08/144,818                                                      


          in the cavity of the truck.  The examiner has cited no                      
          reference which teaches or suggests a foldable assembly, of                 
          any kind, which when folded forms a package which fits within               
          the cavity of a pickup truck.                                               
               In view of the foregoing we will not sustain the                       
          examiner’s rejection of claims 11, 12, 14 and 18 under 35                   
          U.S.C. § 103 over Gross in view of D’Annunzio, Gordin, Koether              
          and Haubert.  We have reviewed the disclosures of Lange,                    
          Andersen, Aakre, Anastasakis, Sheets, Sinner and Naideth in                 
          connection with the rejections of claims 13, 15-17, 19 and 20               
          which are dependent on claim 11 but these disclosures do not                
          cure the deficiencies noted above for the combination of                    
          Gross, D’Annunzio, Gordin, Koether and Haubert.  As such, we                
          will not sustain the rejections of claims 13, 15, 16, 17, 19                
          and 20.                                                                     
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              
                                      REVERSED                                        







                                          9
