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




                    a flange support fixedly attached at the proximal                 
          end of the closed arm, the flange support having means for                  
          attachment to a tree or like columnar member, such that the                 
          structure is substantially one dimensional while in the CLOSED              
          position; and                                                               
                    game animal attachment means.                                     




                    20.  A portable, foldable structure for the dressing              
          of game animals in the field comprising:                                    
                    an upper arm member which is substantially one-                   
          dimensional and which has distal and proximal ends spaced from              
          one another along the one dimension of the upper arm member;                
                    game animal attachment means suspended at about the               
          distal end of the upper arm member;                                         
                    a lower arm member which is substantially one-                    
          dimensional and which has distal and proximal ends spaced from              
          one another along the one dimension of the lower arm member,                
          the distal end of the lower arm member being pivotally                      
          connected to the upper arm member adjacent the distal end of                
          the upper arm member so that the lower arm member can be                    
          selectively pivoted between:  (1) a CLOSED position in which                
          the upper and lower arms {sic] members are substantially                    
          parallel to one another and form a substantially one-                       
          dimensional structure in which the proximal ends of the upper               
          and lower arm members are adjacent to one another and the                   
          upper and lower arm members overlap one another along at least              
          a majority of their lengths, and (2) an OPEN position in which              
          the lower arm member diverges from the upper arm member so                  
          that the upper and lower arm members collectively form a                    
          substantially planar structure;                                             

                                        - A3 -
