rejection, an amendment was entered, and as acknowledged by
the examiner in the communication dated May 7, 1998 (Paper No.
17), claim 37 is not under rejection but stands objected to.
Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1, 4 through 7, 13, 15
through 18, and 21 through 36 is before us.

bottom for a hinged door which is pivotable to be positioned
over a sill when closed. An understanding of the invention
can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, a copy of
which appears in the APPENDIX OF CLAIMS at the end of the
AMENDED APPEAL BRIEF (Paper No. 18).
