         Appeal No. 2001-1863                                                       
         Application No. 08/603,665                                                 

         one and only one surface of said portable telephone.  In fact,             
         element 10 in Fig. 1 is fixed.                                             
              Furthermore, only bracket 58 (Fig. 9) appears to meet the             
         recited limitation of removably connected to the portable                  
         telephone, however, as pointed out by Appellant at page 13 of the          
         brief, it does not meet the recited limitation of contacting one           
          and only one surface of said portable telephone.  The Examiner’s          
         switch to Fig. 1 of Morris satisfies the requirement of contacting         
         only one and one surface of said portable telephone, however, does         
         not meet the recited limitation of removably connected to the              
         telephone.                                                                 
              Thus, applying the precepts annunciated in Lee, we do not             
         find that the Examiner has made adequate findings to support the           
         rejection.                                                                 
              Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of any of the              
         claims on appeal since Mizoguchi and Morris are relied upon by the         
         Examiner to meet the limitations recited in claim 1 and other              
         independent claims, 13, 19 and 21.  The other references, namely
