          Appeal No. 1996-4111                                                        
          Application No. 08/311,902                                                  


          proffered by appellant.  Thus, we affirm the decision of the                
          examiner rejecting all of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103.                                                                      
               As a final point, we note that the examiner did not indicate           
          whether the formal drawings filed on April 2, 1992 meet the                 
          written description requirement of the first paragraph of                   
          35 U.S.C. § 112.  In the event of further prosecution of this               
          application, the examiner is advised to determine whether the               
          newly introduced formal drawings violate the written description            
          requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph.                            
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
