                                  ________________                                    
          Before THOMAS, FLEMING, and LEE, Administrative Patent Judges.              
          LEE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                           
                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from                
          the examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-14.  Claims 15-18                
          have been objected to by the examiner as being dependent upon               
          a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in               
          independent form.  No claim has been allowed.                               
                        References relied on by the Examiner                          
          1.   Shackle             Patent 5,412,287              May 2,

               1
