          Appeal No. 1997-0566                                                        
          Application No. 08/344,345                                                  


          does not produce a self-sustaining paint roller core which is               
          free of adhesive.  With reference to Figure 4 of Sekar's                    
          drawing, for example, it is clear that core 18 is adhesive                  
          free upstream of adhesive applicator 40 (see lines 3 through                
          53 in column 5 of Sekar).  Under these circumstances, it is                 
          clear that the Section 103 rejection of claim 23 as being                   
          unpatentable over Sekar in view of Grodberg and Morrison also               
          should be sustained.
