              Appeal No. 1998-0254                                                                                       
              Application No. 08/511,257                                                                                 




              view of Drummond, we reverse these rejections because the combinations of references                       
              do not possess the claimed features, e.g., a slot that extends from the peripheral edge, nor               
              is there suggestion or motivation for making the examiner's proposed combination.                          
              Rejections of these claims are reversed.                                                                   
                                                     SUMMARY                                                             
                     The rejections of claims 1 through 3, 5, 10 through 13, 19 and 20, all the claims on                
              appeal are reversed.
