            Appeal No. 2001-1915                                                          Page 6              
            Application No. 09/362,590                                                                        


                   It is our opinion that the combined teachings of Wright and Abram fail to establish a      
            prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the subject matter recited in claim 1, and         
            we will not sustain the rejection of this independent claim or of claim 4, which depends          
            therefrom.                                                                                        
                   We reach the same conclusion with regard to independent claims 10 and 16, which            
            contain the same limitation regarding the visibility of the mounting bracket fasteners and, it    
            follows, the claims that depend from them.                                                        




















                                                 SUMMARY
