          Appeal No. 97-3824                                                          
          Application 29/042,728                                                      


          Glover's straps 43 and 45 to Yewer's webbing strap, let alone               
          with the legs of the V extending from opposite sides of a                   
          centrally disposed rectangular element having a vertical                    
          dimension slightly greater than the width of the strap, as in               
          the claimed design.                                                         
               Because we are reversing the rejection for the foregoing               
          reasons, we need not decide the merits of appellant's argument              
          that his design is also patentable over the cited references
