          Appeal No. 1997-0347                                                        
          Application 08/193,654                                                      



          assembly of Harvey in a manner that would arrive at                         
          appellants' invention as defined in independent claim 14.                   
          Accordingly, we cannot sustain the stated rejection of the                  
          appealed claims based on Harvey and Asghar.  Moreover, since                
          the Weiselfish reference is not relied on in a manner which                 
          remedies the basic deficiencies in the Harvey/Asghar                        
          combination, we do                                                          
          not sustain the examiner's stated rejection of appealed claims              
          18 and 20.                                                                  
                    The decision of the examiner is reversed.
