Appeal No. 97-1151
Application 08/380,824
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims
3 through 5, 7, 8, and 10. These claims constitute all of the
claims remaining in the application.
Appellants’ disclosed invention pertains to an
apparatus for holding and dispensing a coreless roll of toilet
tissue. An understanding of the invention can be derived from
a reading of exemplary claim 10, a copy of which appears in
the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper No. 7).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied
the documents listed below:
Avery 2,419,809 Apr. 29, 1947
Hertz 2,606,724 Aug. 12, 1952
The following rejections are before us for review.
Claims 10, 3 through 5, 7, and 8 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Avery in view
of Hertz.
The full text of the examiner's rejection and
response to the argument presented by appellants appears in
