pyrethrins, malathion and parathion (col. 3, lines 27-34), and
particularly the disclosure that volatile materials are

poisonous materials having strong odors that necessarily mask
trash bag odors to at least some extent.

error in the examiner’ rejection.
DECISION
The rejection of claims 1-9, 14-17, 19-25 and 27-29 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 over Lin in view of Cappuzzo is affirmed.
