Appeal No. 2001-0243 Application No. 09/001,285 13, require the lamp assembly to be part of the headrest. There is simply nothing in the combined teachings of Lu and Takeichi which would have suggested positioning a lamp assembly of the sort disclosed by Takeichi on Lu’s pillow/headrest 60, either in conjunction with or in lieu of Lu’s TV set 72. Hence, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claims 5, 6, 12, 15 and 16 as being unpatentable over Lu in view of Takeichi. III. The 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claims 1 through 20 as being unpatentable over Lobanoff in view of Lu Lobanoff discloses a vanity mirror and reading light assembly for mounting on the rear side of a head restraint for a vehicle seat. In general, each light assembly includes a lens 112, a reflector 114, a bulb socket/reflector 116, and a conventional bulb 118 (see Figure 8 and column 4, lines 5 through 17). As described by Lobanoff with reference to Figures 1 through 3, there is illustrated a head restraint 10 mounted on the top of a vehicle front seat 11 and incorporating a lighted vanity mirror assembly 12 comprising an open plastic receptacle 22 in which is disposed a mirror housing 20 supporting a mirror 13, side lights 14, a light switch 15 and a cover 16 having a fabric hinge 17 and hook-and-loop strips 18.
