          Application 08/630,304                                                      


          allowed as indicated in the Advisory Action of October 27,                  
          1997 (Paper No. 10).                                                        
               Appellants’ invention pertains to a unitized monocoque                 
          enclosure and to an equipment enclosure.  An understanding of               
          the invention can be derived from a reading of claims 1 and                 
          11, copies of which appear in APPENDIX A of the brief (Paper                
          No. 13).                                                                    

               As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the               
          documents listed below:                                                     
          Salmon              4,715,502                     Dec. 29, 1987             
          Nilsson             4,754,369                     Jun. 28, 1988             


               The following rejection is before us for review.                       


               Claims 1 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                
          being unpatentable over Salmon in view of Nilsson.                          


               The full text of the examiner's rejection and response to              
          the argument presented by appellants appears in the answer                  
          (Paper No. 14), while the complete statement of appellants’
