          Appeal No. 2000-0398                                                        
          Application 08/903,406                                                      

          apparently derivable from the teachings and showings in Bottelson’s         
          figures, and apply them to the teachings and showings of Morris’s           
          rating plug cover 21.  We therefore reverse the rejection of this           
          claim and its respective dependent claims.                                  
               In summary, we have sustained the rejection of claims 1, 3 and         
          4, but have reversed the rejection of claims 2, 5-7, 9, 10 and 12           
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner             
          rejecting various claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                 
          affirmed-in-part.                                                           
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection          
          with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
