          Appeal No. 97-1176                                                          
          Application 08/003,673                                                      


          last paragraph of claim 15.                                                 
               The Bachman and Hicks references, while pertinent to certain           
          limitations of the dependent claims, do not overcome the                    
          deficiencies of Spence and Ekins noted above.  Accordingly, we              
          also will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of the appealed              
          claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                               
                                       Summary                                        
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              
                                      REVERSED
