          Appeal No. 1998-0127                                                        
          Application No. 08/609,670                                                  


          spring system in a reproduction machine of the type set forth               
          in the claim.                                                               
          In summary, we disagree with the examiner that either                       
          of the acknowledged differences between Abare and the claimed               
          invention is rendered obvious by the teachings of Kunkle or                 
          the knowledge of the artisan.  Therefore, the decision of the               
          examiner rejecting claim 6 is reversed.
