As the Examiner correctly notes,

[T]he test for obviousness is not whether the features of a secondary reference may be bodily incorporated into the structure of the primary reference; nor is it that the claimed invention must be expressly suggested in any one or all of the references. Rather, the test is what the combined teachings of the references would have suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Ans. 15-16 (citing In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 425 (CCPA 1981)).
