          Application No. 08/911,933                                                  


          movable, we are not persuaded of that teachings from the prior              
          art would have suggested combining the teachings of the                     
          references.  Therefore, we reverse the rejection of claims 1-               
          5, 22, and 23 as obvious over Mowers in view of Petrich.                    


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejection of claims 1-5, 22, and 23 under              
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.                                             







                                      REVERSED
