          Application No. 08/610,279                                                  


          re Warner, 379 F.2d 1011, 1017, 154 USPQ 173, 178 (CCPA 1967),              
          cert. denied, 389 U.S. 1057 (1968)).                                        
               With respect to claims 21-23, 30 and 31 there is nothing               
          in Scholler which would overcome the basic deficiencies of                  
          Anderson that we have noted above in the § 102 rejection.                   
               With respect to claims 24-27 there is nothing in the                   
          combined teachings of Anderson and Scholler which would fairly              
          suggest a body having first and second sections wherein (1)                 
          each section has an inside wall surrounding a chamber and a                 
          first end wall closing one end of the chamber and a second                  
          transverse end wall open to the chamber and (2) the abrasive                
          member having opposite ends adjacent the end walls of the first             
          and second sections as expressly required by independent claim              
          24.                                                                         
               For the reasons stated above, we will not sustain the                  
          rejection of claims 1-16, 21-27, 30 and 31 under 35 U.S.C.                  
          § 103(a) based on the combined teachings of Anderson and                    
          Scholler.                                                                   
               Under the provisions of 37 C.F.R. § 1.196(b) we make the               
          following new rejection:
