          Appeal No. 2005-0455                                                        
          Application No. 09/974,341                                                  

          relationship.  Although the halves of Gregory's bobber may mate             
          together at their edges, they are not disclosed as interlocking.            
          Gregory employs spring lock 11 to lock the two halves together.             
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, we are constrained to           
          reverse the examiner's rejection.
