          Appeal No. 98-1243                                                          
          Application No. 08/679,939                                                  


          mechanical coupling that releases under the effect of a force               
          acting substantially parallel to the direction of the tension               
          resisting bar, that is, to the plane of the door.                           
               The combined teachings of these references fail to                     
          establish a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the              
          subject matter of independent claims 10 and 11 or, it follows,              
          of dependent claim 12, and we therefore will not sustain this               
          rejection.
