The sole issue in this appeal is whether claims 42-47,
49-51, 66, 77 and 78 were properly rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103 as being unpatentable over Beckmann in view of Baudin,
Plueddemann, Williams, Miyata, Kawakubo, Tadenuma, Kobayashi
and Modern Plastics.1
1Claims 42-47, 49-51, 66, 77 and 78 were finally rejected
