          Appeal No. 2001-1380                                                        
          Application No. 09/138,998                                                  


          Akutagawa specifically states that “[b]y executing the above-               
          mentioned operation reversely, the lid body 11 is turned to the             
          closed state.”  Accordingly, appellants argument in this regard             
          is not persuasive.                                                          
               The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 3 and 4 under                 
          35 U.S.C. 103 is affirmed.                                                  
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
