          Appeal No. 1998-2537                                                        
          Application 08/680,602                                                      



          Since claims 2 through 4 depend from claim 1 and include all                
          of the limitations of claim 1, we will also not sustain the                 
          examiner’s rejection of these claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).              


                    In summary, we will not sustain the examiner’s                    
          rejection of claims 1 through 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                 
          being unpatentable over Graham in view of Huber.  Therefore,                
          the decision of the examiner is reversed.                                   


                                        REVERSED
