          Application No. 07/914,359                                                       
          claims 11-15 as being unpatentable over Follmer in view of                       
          Harris or                                                                        




          Wareman and further in view of Cherry, we have carefully                         
          considered these secondary references additionally relied upon                   
          by the examiner but find nothing therein that makes up for the                   
          deficiency of Follmer noted above or that otherwise renders                      
          any of the appealed claims obvious within the meaning of 35                      
          U.S.C.                                                                           
          § 103.  Accordingly, these rejections likewise cannot be                         
          sustained.                                                                       
                The decision of the examiner is reversed.
