          Appeal No. 1998-1417                                                       
          Application No. 08/526,891                                                 

          reasonable rebuttal to the appellants’ argument that all of the            
          various pins shown in Figure 3 of Treiber have identical                   
          lengths.                                                                   
               Because neither of the examiner’s rejections accounts for a           
          crucial claim limitation, we cannot affirm.                                
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                             
                                      REVERSED
