          Application 08/032,241                                                      


          Appellants’ Invention                                                       


          The invention concerns a camera surveillance structure                      
          made to look like a smoke detector or loudspeaker.  The structure           
          comprises a housing 3 in which a television camera is enclosed,             
          and a covering member 2 which fits over the housing.  The member 2          
          is formed with an aperture or opening 2c (Figure 2) which exposes           
          a window which forms part of the camera housing and which is                
          covered                                                                     
          by a curved glass filter 6.  Housing 3 includes flanges 3a formed           
          at a base thereof.                                                          
          The Prior Art                                                               
          Stiepel discloses a surveillance camera housing assembly 1                  
          comprising a shroud member 3.  A camera 4 is located within the             
          shroud member, which has a light-transmissive view aperture 3c for          
          the camera.  The shroud member is mounted within carriage assembly          
          6 such that it is able to rotate within the assembly about first            
          and second orthogonal axes.  A housing 7 fits over the shroud 3.            
          The Rejection under 35 U.S.C. §103                                          
          After consideration of the positions and arguments presented                



                                            3
