          Appeal No. 96-3298                                                          
          Application 08/361,284                                                      


          invention, if the result of the new combination be the same as              
          before”).                                                                   


               The Shillington reference was cited for its showing of                 
          air intake pipes formed by a single plastic part, and does not              
          add anything to the Miyano and Parr references insofar as the               
          deficiencies discussed above are concerned.                                 
               Accordingly, we conclude that the applied prior art does               
          not make out a prima facie case of obviousness.                             
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
