          Appeal No. 2001-0592                                                        
          Application 09/110,824                                                      


          Since we have determined that the teachings and                             
          suggestions which would have been fairly derived from                       
          Cherrington and Trinkle would not have made the subject matter              
          as a whole of claim 1 on appeal obvious to one of ordinary                  
          skill in the art at the time of appellant’s invention, we must              
          refuse to sustain the examiner’s rejection of that claim under              
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  It follows that the examiner's rejection               
          of dependent claims 2 through 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based              
          on Cherrington and Trinkle will also not be sustained.
