          Application No. 08/293,681                                                  




          on Walkhoff for disclosing a second tensioning system as                    
          recited in claim 1 from which claims 17, 18, 20 and 21 depend.              
          We have reviewed the disclosures of Bonnaventure, Kaufman and               
          Marega and these references do not cure the deficiencies noted              
          above for Walkhoff.                                                         
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
