          Appeal No. 95-5103                                        Page 13           
          Application No. 08/074,303                                                  


          in the specification as corresponding to the claimed "means                 
          for enabling said first and second depressible start buttons"               
          is a depressible push button.  In our view, clearly wires are               
          not an equivalent to a depressible push button.  Thus, all the              
          limitations of claim 1 are not suggested or taught by Farkas.               


               Since all the limitations of claim 1 are not suggested or              
          taught by Farkas, the decision of the examiner to reject claim              
          1, and claims 6 and 7 dependent thereon, under 35 U.S.C. § 103              
          is reversed.
