          Appeal No. 1999-2838                                                          
          Application No. 08/812,848                                                    


          1967), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 1057 (1968), rehearing denied, 390              
          U.S. 1000 (1968).                                                             
               In view of the above discussion, it is our view that, since              
          all of the limitations of the appealed claims are not taught or               
          suggested by the prior art, the Examiner has not established a                
          prima facie case of obviousness.  Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. §                
          103 rejection of independent claims 1, as well as claims 2-14                 
          dependent thereon, cannot be sustained.  Therefore, the decision              
          of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-14 is reversed.                            


















                                    REVERSED                                            


                                           8
