Appeal Number: 2006-1404 Application Number: 09/571,803 van Berkel. Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of claims 24, 28 and 32 over those references. Rejection over Cantatore in view of van Berkel and Walker Claim 1 Cantatore discloses a food slicer having what appears to be a handle attached at one location below a tray (figures 1 and 4). The appellant argues that Cantatore does not disclose that the handle is unitary with the tray (brief, pages 14-15). The handle is at least fastened to the tray and, as discussed above regarding the rejections over Reussenzehn, the broadest reasonable interpretation of “unitary” consistent with the specification includes such fastening. The appellant argues that Cantatore’s handle extends downwardly away from the tray, and lacks any flanges to which van Berkel’s horizontally extending handle could be attached (brief, page 16). Cantatore’s handle is attached to the tray (figures 1 and 4), and van Berkel’s handle could be attached to that tray the same way it is attached to van Berkel’s tray (figures 1 and 3). The appellant argues that Walker’s handle does not extend from at least two locations (brief, page 16).
