          Appeal No. 1998-2890                                                        
          Application No. 08/811,142                                                  

          examiner.4  As a consequence of our review, we make the                     
          determinations which follow.                                                




               We cannot sustain the examiner's rejection of appellants'              
          claims 1-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based upon "Prior Art" Figs. 1            
          and 2.                                                                      


               Independent claim 1 addresses a transportable shelter                  
          facility for housing equipment to be protected, with the shelter            
          facility comprising, inter alia, a support base having a first              
          length and comprising a shelter support portion and a power                 
          source support portion, with the power source support portion               
          being outward beyond the shelter support portion upon the support           
          base.                                                                       


               Independent claim 5 is drawn to a method of constructing a             
          transportable shelter facility comprising, inter alia, the steps            

          4 Since, as specified below, we have reversed the examiner's                
          respective rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), we need not                 
          assess the commercial success showing in the respective                     
          declarations of Brent Womack (Paper No. 15) and Harold R. Haas              
          (Paper No. 24).                                                             
                                          4
