               Application No. 10/087,613                                                                                              

                       As Steffens does not describe a releasable locking device having one position                                   
               which holds a carrier in an operative position and in a second position which allows the                                
               carrier to be pivoted to an inoperative position, we will not sustain this rejection as it is                           
               directed to claim 14 and claims 15 to 21 dependent thereon.                                                             
                                                          CONCLUSION                                                                   
                       To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 14 to 21 under                                      
               35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
