               The examiner should make similar determinations with                   
          regard to Campbell.  In Campbell's apparatus, the innermost                 
          end of each of a plurality of fingers 16 is bent at a 90                    
          degree angle and inserted in a corresponding hole 20, as shown              
          in Figure 4.  Each of the fingers 16 is held in position by a               
          retaining screw 22 threaded into the side of the support                    
          plates 12, 14.                                                              
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 1, 3-8, 10, 12-22 and 24-28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
