Before JOHN D. SMITH, WARREN and WALTZ, Administrative Patent Judges.
WARREN, Administrative Patent Judge.
Decision on Appeal and Opinion
This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner finally rejecting
claims 1 through 9, which are all of the claims in the application.1
We have carefully considered the record before us, and based thereon, find that we cannot
sustain the grounds of rejection of appealed claims 1, 4 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Durfee in
view of Kulaszewicz et al. in further view of Ripplinger and of appealed claims 2, 3 and 6 through 9
