Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is a suit for infringement of a patent. The claimed invention has to do with an improvement in the combination of articles used to cover ironing machines in laundries. The district judge decided for the defendant for the reason that the improvement involved no more than ordinary mechanical skill and did not *695 amount to an invention. D.C., 181 F. Supp. 134.
