          Appeal No. 96-3426                                                          
          Application No. 08/115,274                                                  


               Based upon the above analysis, we have determined that                 
          the examiner’s legal conclusion of obviousness is not                       
          supported by the facts.  “Where the legal conclusion is not                 
          supported by the facts it cannot stand.  In re Warner, 379                  
          F.2d 1011, 1017, 154 USPQ 173, 178 (CCPA 1967).                             
                                      DECISION                                        
               The rejection of claims 1 through 4, 6 through 10 and 12               
          through 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Lahoda                
          in view of Guymon and Hosmer is reversed.
