          Appeal No. 2001-2166                                                        
          Application 09/275,965                                                      

          taken.  As clearly shown in Figure 4, base member 52 is a flat              
          planar member.  Moreover, base member 52 does not itself have top           
          and bottom members exerting pressure against the upper and lower            
          slot surfaces in generally vertical directions as called for in             
          claims 4 and 10.
