          Appeal No. 1999-1911                                                        
          Application No. 08/659,308                                                  


          13 of the neck (column 3, line 74 through column 4, line 13;                
          Figure 2a).  Because the neck of Nardone terminates in a                    
          surface portion 12 having a plane, circular configuration                   
          (column 3, line 64), it cannot be considered to meet the                    
          requirement of claim                                                        
          33 calling for a neck that terminates in a “sharp edge.”                    
               We note, however, that the Reinhard reference applied by               
          the examiner against the claims is directed to a container for              
          liquid cosmetics or the like substances (column 1, lines 4-5)               
          and
