Appeal 2007-0229
Application 10/968,436
4. Lippincott does not teach a closed top or at least one side wall having a
first opening proximate the top of the housing and a second opening
proximate the bottom of the housing as required by claim 1. The side
pocket cover of Lippincott is not a first opening sized to receive at least
one meal container, and it lacks a first door which may be placed in an
open position to permit insertion of at least one meal container or in a
closed position to cover the first opening, thereby limiting heat transfer
from within the housing.
5. Hill teaches a convertible furniture piece that is a combined hassock and
bar (Hill, col. 1, ll. 15-17). It provides a pair of hinged doors, which
when swung to open position, serve as support for a corresponding pair
of opened, hinged top lids (Hill, col. 1, ll. 27-30).
6. Hill does not teach at least one side wall having a first opening proximate
the top of the housing and a second opening proximate the bottom of the
housing as required by claim 1. The hinged doors are oriented side-by-
side, not top and bottom as required by the disputed claims and
reorienting the combined hassock and bar of Hill to place them on the top
and bottom of the structure would prevent them from serving their
disclosed function of supporting a pair of hinged top lids, when opened.
7. Jacober teaches a backpack with a removable insulated container. The
backpack body has a sleeve component secured thereto for closely
receiving and supporting an insulated container component with a mouth
