         Application No. 09/337,492                                                 

              From the examiner's incorrect characterization of flexible            
         members 15 "urging" the frame 11' against the latch 5, we find             
         that the examiner has misconstrued the disclosure described in             
         appellant's specification.                                                 
              From all of the above, we find that the examiner has failed           
         to establish a prima facie case of non-enablement.  Accordingly,           
         the rejection of claims 6, 7, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 26 and 29 under          
         35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed.                             
                                     CONCLUSION                                     
              To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims           
         6, 7, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 26 and 29 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first           
         paragraph is reversed.
