           Appeal Number: 2006-1404                                                                  
           Application Number: 09/571,803                                                            

           examiner’s argument regarding the handle having a recessed area                           
           is not pertinent to that limitation.                                                      
                 Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claims 4 and 16                            
           over Czala in view of van Berkel and Walker.                                              
                                       Claims 5, 26 and 30                                           
                 The examiner asserts that Czala modified by van Berkel and                          
           Walker render obvious a handle that extends generally vertically                          
           between at least two locations at which it is attached to the                             
           tray, but the examiner provides no explanation as to why or how                           
           one of ordinary skill in the art would have combined the                                  
           references to arrive at such a configuration (answer, page 25).                           
                 Consequently, we reverse the rejection of claims 5, 26                              
           and 30 over Czala in view of van Berkel and Walker.                                       
                                      Claims 10, 11 and 14                                           
                 The examiner’s argument regarding claims 10, 11 and 14 is                           
           the same as that set forth with respect to the rejections over                            
           Reussenzehn, alone or in combination with van Berkel (answer,                             
           page 8).  The rejection of claims 10, 11 and 14 over Czala in                             
           view of van Berkel and Walker is reversed for the reasons given                           
           above regarding the rejections over Reussenzehn, alone or in                              
           combination with van Berkel.                                                              



                                                 12
