          Appeal No. 98-2946                                                          
          Application 08/291,596                                                      


          or most manufacturers who used metal tips no longer use them;               
          and (4) the claimed device solves the problem.  Accordingly,                
          the evidence herein overcomes the prima facie case of                       
          obviousness, and rejections (1) and (2) will not be sustained.              
























                                     Conclusion                                       
               The examiner’s decision to reject claims 1, 9 to 13, 15,               
          16 and 21 is reversed.                                                      

                                          9
