light.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Erickson 3,601,490 Aug. 24, 1971
Uehara et al. (Uehara) 4,558,949 Dec. 17, 1985
Murakami et al. (Murakami) 4,704,020 Nov. 03, 1987
Akamatsu et al. (Akamatsu) 5,162,642 Nov. 10, 1992
(effectively filed Nov. 18,
1986)
Claims 73, 74, 76-79 and 81-97 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness the examiner
offers Uehara or Murakami in view of Akamatsu with respect to
claims 73, 74, 77-79, 81, 84-91 and 95-97, and the examiner
adds Erickson with respect to claims 76, 82, 83 and 92-94.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the
evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support
