             1       12.  Figure 12 is shown below:                                                                        









             2                                                                                                             
             3       13.  “In this example [at figure 12]…and [sic - an] end user simply                                   
             4           removes the end cap 312, shakes the bottle, directs the nozzle end                                
             5           downwards and presses against the side of the nozzle 310 [to open the                             
             6           valve].”  (Frutin I at 18).                                                                       
             7       14.  Frutin I teaches the density of the dispensed liquid may be controlled                           
             8           by the ratio of headspace and gas pressure.  (Frutin I at 20).

           12            opened by the consumer’s finger and may be placed into the                                        
           13            consumer’s mouth for drinking. (Rudick at 5:4-8).
