          Appeal No. 96-1918                                                           
          Application 08/196,931                                                       

               motivation for such a use, and a case of prima facie                    
               obviousness cannot be made.                                             
          Claim 1 says nothing about operating the device or operating                 
          a switch while the fingers are curled around the handle.  As                 
          long as the operator can use the tower 62 of Clark or the                    
          grip case 35 of Nishiwaki as a handle, claim 1 is satisfied.                 
               Appellant has not persuaded us of any error in the                      
          examiner's rejection of claim 1.  Accordingly, the rejection                 
          of claims 1-10 is sustained.                                                 























                                        - 10 -
