                                     DECISION ON APPEAL                                      


                This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1                       
          through 17, all of the claims remaining in the application.                        


                Appellant's invention pertains to a novelty device and to a                  
          method of operation for a novelty device.  A basic understanding                   
          of the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary                        
          claims 1, 10, and 17, respective copies of which appear in the                     
          APPENDIX of the brief (Paper No. 6).
