Application No. 08/602,274
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a glove drying and
shaping device. An understanding of the invention can be
derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which appears in
the appendix to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:

No. 12, mailed June 11, 1997) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the appellants'
