          Appeal No. 97-1393                                                          
          Application 08/456,349                                                      



          claims 2 through 8 and 10 through 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are              
          likewise not sustained.                                                     


                    It follows from the foregoing that the decision of                
          the examiner is reversed.                                                   


                    In reaching the above decision with regard to the                 
          rejections posited by the examiner, we have construed the                   
          language of the claims on appeal in light of appellant’s                    
          underlying disclosure, and, in that regard, generally under-                
          stand the “substantially one dimensional upper arm” and the                 
          “substantially one dimensional lower arm” as recited in                     
          appellant’s claims to be arms that are each formed as a single              
          member (e.g., the rectangular section metal tubes seen in                   
          Figure 1) wherein the length dimension of a member is signifi-              
          cantly greater than the height and width dimensions of the                  
          member so that the members are each of narrow profile when                  
          viewed from above or from the side so as to permit easy                     
          grasping of the structure by a hunter when the arms are folded              
          together for                                                                

                                          7
