             Application No. 10/077,718                                                                                                      


                    Stoll does not describe a clamping arm.  Rather, Stoll describes a foot rest                                             
             having an arm 13 that can be rotated to adjust the height of the foot rest.  In addition,                                       
             there is no suggestion in Stoll that the arm 13 and the stand or base be used as a                                              
             clamping mechanism.  As Stoll does not describe nor suggest a clamping mechanism,                                               
             we will not sustain the examiner's rejections of claim 22 and claim 23 dependent                                                
             thereon.                                                                                                                        
                    The decision of the examiner is reversed.
