          Appeal No. 97-1151                                                          
          Application 08/380,824                                                      



          relative to the receptacle, the receptacle being rotatably                  
          connected to the wall mounted dispenser by the first and                    
          second projections and movable between a first position with                
          the open-topped trough being substantially unexposed and a                  
          second position with the open-topped trough being                           
          substantially exposed to allow insertion of a coreless roll of              
          toilet tissue.                                                              
                    Consistent with the underlying disclosure, claim 10               
          clearly requires a rotatable receptacle for accommodating a                 
          coreless roll of toilet tissue.                                             
                    Turning to the Avery patent (Figure 1), we find that              
          the cavity 11 of the label dispenser provides the receptacle                
          for receiving and supporting a supply roll 15 of tape 17 and                
          labels 18 (column 3, lines 5 through 8).  A rotatable cover                 
          20, mounted for rotation by rivets 23 (Figure 2) can be turned              
          to                                                                          


          permit a new supply roll to be dropped into the receptacle                  
          (Figure 3) and thereafter returned to its closed position                   
          (column 3, line 75 to column 4, line 13).                                   

                                          5
