                Appeal 2007-1788                                                                             
                Application 09/766,032                                                                       
                      Figures 2-4 of the instant application are reproduced below (with                      
                reference numerals omitted for clarity):                                                     














                      The figures illustrate the embodiment in which the spring constant is                  
                “sufficiently less” than the bobber’s buoyant force.  In this embodiment, the                
                force required to fully compress the spring causes only minor submersion of                  
                the bobber main body (see Fig. 3).                                                           
                      Figures 11-13 are reproduced below (reference numerals omitted):
