          Appeal No. 1999-2852                                                        
          Application 08/681,898                                                      


          of the embodiment depicted in Figures 3 through 7c, is                      
          substantially the same as the embodiment described earlier                  
          herein.  Therefore, in our view, a person of ordinary skill in              
          the art reading the specification as a whole would understand               
          that the wall of the container depicted in Figures 3 through                
          7c moves inwardly to compact the material notwithstanding the               
          use of the phrase “expands radially.”                                       
























                                          6
