Appeal No. 1997-1970
Application 08/268,732
canceled (Paper No. 12). In the advisory action of
August 15, 1996 (Paper No. 19), the examiner indicated that
claims 21 through 24 stand rejected, while claims 25 through
29 are objected to (the latter claims being in dependent form,

constitute all of the claims remaining in the application.
Accordingly, only claims 21 through 24 are under rejection and
before us for appellate review.
Appellant’s invention pertains to a device for draping

in the APPENDIX OF CLAIMS ON APPEAL on page 10 of the brief
(Paper No. 20).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
