                Appeal 2006-3364                                                                                  
                Application 10/305,972                                                                            

                693, 16 USPQ2d at 1901.  An adequate motivation would have been to                                
                attach the spacer cord to the pleated material joints.                                            
                       We therefore are not convinced of reversible error in the rejection                        
                over Fairbanks in view of Alcocer.                                                                
                                                  DECISION                                                        
                       The rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1-17 and 21 over the                        
                Appellant’s prior art figures 1-4 in view of Alcocer, and claims 18-20 over                       
                Fairbanks in view of Alcocer are affirmed.                                                        
                       No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                         
                this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
