          Appeal No. 1997-4175                                                        
          Application No. 07/805,703                                                  


          6, is at column 2, lines 19-20: “The hole 6 is provided for                 
          evacuating or filling the discharge area 11.”                               
               In our view, the examiner has not established the                      
          requisite prima facie case of obviousness for a proper                      
          rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the examiner’s               
          decision is reversed.
