Appeal No. 1997-3823
Application No. 08/320,782
of the adjustment of the lens’ position of Flader relative to
the eyes of the user is not relevant to the head mounted
display system disclosed by Furness. Further, Flader and
Furness do not provide any motivation to combine the
adjustable nosepiece of Flader and the head mounted display
system of Furness, as set forth above.
In light of the foregoing, we will not sustain the
standing rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claim 7 and claims
11, 14-16 and 20 which depend therefrom.
With respect to the examiner’s rejection of independent
claim 25 and claims 26-28 which depend therefrom under 35
U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Furness, we observe
that claim 25 requires a display, a reflector and a frame for
supporting the display and reflector wherein said frame
includes a longitudinally extending recess disposed between an
inner and outer edge of the frame member for receiving an
upper edge of a frame of a pair of glasses. As can be seen
best in appellants' Figure 4 and as explained on page 13 of
the specification, the lens holder 16 includes a recess 112
