          Appeal No. 2001-0109                                                        
          Application 08/871,898                                                      

              Claims 2, 4 through 6, and 8 through 16 also require the                
         limitation of “a lip lies stretched over the outer surface of                
         the plug” based on their dependency upon claim 1.                            
              In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the decision              
         of the Examiner rejecting claim 1 and dependent claims 2, 4                  
         throug 6, and 8 through 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
