               The prior art references of record relied upon by the                  
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:                              
          Uhrig                    773,692                       Nov.  1,             
          1904                                                                        
          Flora                    847,755                       Mar. 19,

          Fortunato                     3,286,392                     Nov.            
          22, 1966                                                                    
          Johnson                  4,512,690                     Apr. 23,

               Claims 1, 4, 5 and 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103              
          as being unpatentable over Uhrig in view of Fortunato, Johnson              
          and Flora.                                                                  


               Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced              
          by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
