          Appeal No. 2001-1894                                                        
          Application No. 09/108,741                                                  


          caps, as required by claim 1, since Riefler’s caps 8, 14 (as                
          identified by the examiner at page 6 of the answer) are not                 
          connected to blocks 1 by any of the bands 3 to 7 (band 7 goes               
          under the caps 14, as shown in Fig. 1).  Also, Riefler’s rods               
          11 are not considered to be bands or strips, as discussed                   
          above in connection with Larger and Powers.
