          Appeal No. 2004-1897                                                        
          Application No. 09/455,664                                                  

          not have been suggestive of a scale collector comprising a block            
          of compressed mesh material.                                                
          Thus, the rejection of claim 5 cannot be sustained.                         

               In summary, this panel of the Board has not sustained any of           
          the rejections on appeal.                                                   

               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
