          Application No. 08/785,099                                                  





               The references applied in the final rejection are:                     
          Fleissner                          3,831,666                Aug.            
          27, 1974                                                                    
          Bos et al. (Bos)              4,053,277                Oct. 11,             
          1977                                                                        
          Stahl et al. (Stahl)          4,876,780                Oct. 31,             
          1989                                                                        
          Neuhöffer et al. (Neuhöffer)  4,920,623           May   1,                  
          1990                                                                        
               The appealed claims stand finally rejected under                       
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over the following                          
          combinations of references:                                                 
          (1) Claims 1 to 7, Fleissner in view of Stahl;                              
          (2) Claims 8 and 9, Fleissner in view of Stahl and Bos;                     
          (3) Claims 10 to 15, 18 to 24 and 27, Fleissner in view of                  
          Stahl and Neuhöffer;                                                        
          (4) Claims 16, 17, 25 and 26, Fleissner in view of Stahl,                   
          Neuhöffer and Bos.                                                          
               Considering first the rejection of claim 1, the only                   
          independent claim, it is evident that Fleissner discloses all               
          the subject matter recited in that claim except the final                   
          paragraph, which reads:                                                     

                                          2
