                  Application No. 08/951,003                                                                                                              


                           It therefore is our conclusion that the combined teachings of Black and Dunn, and                                              
                  Black and Gleason, fail to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the                                               
                  subject matter of claim 14, and we will not sustain the rejection.                                                                      
                                                                     SUMMARY                                                                              
                           None of the rejections are sustained.                                                                                          
                           The decision of the examiner is REVERSED.
