          Appeal No. 97-1394                                                          
          Application 08/500,178                                                      



          clamped upon the shank of a wrench.  The structure of handle                
          20 is similar to the handle disclosed in appellant's Figure 7               
          in that the wrench grip has an elongated hollow body and also               
          one seam extending from one end to the other end thereof to                 
          facilitate the attachment and detachment of said movable                    
          wrench grip with said double-ended wrench.  Note that in                    
          column 1, line 40, Mills states that one of his objectives is               
          to provide a device that may be easily attached or removed                  
          from an open-ended wrench.  Furthermore, Mills teaches that                 
          the handle grip 20 "could be clipped onto one wrench as it is               
          needed and then                                                             
          removed and clipped onto another wrench."  See column 3,                    
          lines 21                                                                    
          through 23.  Thus, Mills clearly provides that a movable                    
          wrench                                                                      


          grip can be resiliently placed on the handle of a wrench to                 
          frictionally engage the same so that there is a minimum of                  
          wobble or movement between the handle grip 20 and the wrench.               



                                          5
