          Appeal No. 2000-0204                                                        
          Application No. 08/512,068                                                  


          examiner that the differences in the intended use of the wick               
          holding element disclosed in Bolinger and appellant's wick                  
          holding grate do not patentably distinguish the claimed wick                
          holding grate from the wick holding element of Bolinger.                    


          For the above reasons, we will sustain the examiner's                       
          rejection of claim 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being                     
          anticipated by Bolinger, and the decision of the examiner is,               
          accordingly, affirmed.                                                      







               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 


                                      AFFIRMED                                        




                         IAN A. CALVERT                     )                         
                                          8
