                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  


               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1                 
          through 4, 6 through 13, and 15 through 19, all of the claims               
          remaining in the application.                                               


               Appellants’ invention pertains to a book clamp for a book              
          binding machine.  A basic understanding of the invention can be             
          derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, a copy of which                
          appears in the Appendix to the brief (Paper No. 17).
