               Appeal No. 2003-1271                                                                     Page 8                  
               Application No. 08/901,713                                                                                       


                              Another configuration for retaining hand tools in place in tool holders is                        
                      shown in FIG. 4 where across the tops of pockets 58 there is a line or band of                            
                      elastic 60 which requires some force to insert the hand tool into the pocket and                          
                      thereafter holds the hand tool in place until a similar force is used to withdraw the                     
                      hand tool.                                                                                                


                                                       CONCLUSION                                                               
                      To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 31 under                                 
               35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.  In addition, we have remanded the application to the                               
               examiner for further consideration.
