          Before KIMLIN, TIMM and JEFFREY T. SMITH, Administrative Patent             
          Judges.                                                                     
          KIMLIN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 27-29,            
          31, 49, 50 and 53-56.  Claims 33-46 have been withdrawn from                
          consideration as being directed to an nonelected species.  Also,            
          claims 30, 32, 47, 48, 51 and 52 have been objected to as being             
          dependent upon a rejected base claim.  Claim 27 is illustrative:            
               27.  A pull-out guide for drawers, comprising:                         
               a pull-out rail to be connected to a drawer frame so as to             
          support the drawer frame;                                                   

                                         -1-
