ordinary skill in the art to combine the features of the handles
pointed out by the examiner in such a manner that a handle which
extends from a tray in at least two spaced locations and has the
curvature requirement of the appellant’s claim 6, 12 or 15 is
obtained.
We therefore reverse the rejection of claims 6, 12 and 15
over Cantatore in view of van Berkel and Walker.
Claims 22-25, 27-29, 31 and 32
Regarding the rejection of claims 22-25, 27-29, 31 and 32
over Cantatore in view of van Berkel and Walker the appellant
relies upon the same arguments set forth with respect to the
rejection of those claims over Czala in view of van Berkel and
Walker. Those arguments are not persuasive for the reasons
given above regarding the rejection over Czala in view of van
Berkel and Walker.
Consequently, we affirm the rejection of claims 22-25, 27-
29, 31 and 32 over Cantatore in view of van Berkel and Walker.

The rejections of claims 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9-17, 19 and 21-32
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) over Reussenzehn and under
35 U.S.C. § 103 over Reussenzehn and over Reussenzehn in view of

15-17, 19, 21-25, 27-29, 31 and 32, and reversed as to claims
