          Appeal No. 98-1428                                                          
          Application No. 08/590,388                                                  


          of the trash receptacle, or, as seen in Figure 7, includes                  
          deformable scalloped projections (21) that may be deformed                  
          interiorly of the trash receptacle, so as to capture the liner              
          relative to the trash can.                                                  


          In Meroney, the frame structure (e.g., 38, 40, 42, 44 of                    
          Figure 1) is made of stiffened paper or plastic (col. 3, lines              
          9-12) and is attached to the interior surface of the liner                  
          sleeve (32) by adhesive or heat sealing.  Figure 4 of Meroney               
          shows a simplified version of the receptacle liner therein                  
          where only panels (68, 70) are provided at the mouth of the                 
          liner sleeve.  As can be seen in Figure 5, the panels (68, 70)              
          may carry a pressure-sensitive adhesive strip (76) protected                
          by a readily removable protective film (78) for allowing the                
          panels to be attached to the exterior of a receptacle to                    
          assist in holding the liner sleeve about the rim of the                     
          receptacle.                                                                 







                                          5
