rods 42 are inserted in the rail clamps 44 (see col. 4, lines

claim 36 based on Michelson '943, Heffington and Michelson
'892.
We will not, however, sustain the § 103 rejection of
claims 2-5, 7, 13-15, 19, 23, 33, 40 and 43 based on Michelson
'943 in view of Heffington.
Claim 2, as well as claims 3-5 and 7 dependent therefrom,
and claims 19 and 33 recite first and second side frame
members each comprising a forward vertical member, a bottom
horizontal
member, a top horizontal member parallel to the bottom
horizontal
member, a rearward vertical member parallel to the forward
vertical member and an angled rearward member connected to the
top horizontal member and to the rear vertical member, i.e., a
five-sided closed loop construction.
