FIG. 9 depicts a top view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 1.

FIG. 10 depicts an isometric view of a second example location sensor and flow rate meter; the second example location sensor and flow rate meter of FIGS. 10-18 depicts the same location sensor and flow rate meter of FIGS. 1-9, but without a back plate.

FIG. 11 depicts a front view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 12 depicts a side view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 13 depicts an off-angle view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 14 depicts a back view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 15 depicts an opposite side view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 16 depicts another off-angle view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 17 depicts a bottom view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 18 depicts a top view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 10.

FIG. 19 depicts an isometric view of a third example location sensor and flow rate meter; the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIGS. 19-27 depicts the same location sensor and flow rate meter of FIGS. 10-18, but without a back plate and some exterior features.

FIG. 20 depicts a front view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

FIG. 21 depicts a side view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

FIG. 22 depicts an off-angle view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

FIG. 23 depicts a back view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

FIG. 24 depicts an opposite side view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

FIG. 25 depicts another off-angle view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

FIG. 26 depicts a bottom view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19; and,

FIG. 27 depicts a top view of the location sensor and flow rate meter of FIG. 19.

The location sensor and flow rate meter in the accompanying figures may be positioned on or near a fluid conduit, such as a pipe or a standpipe.

Stipple shading is used in all of the accompanying Figures to convey surface contouring and not texture.

It is to be understood that many of the surface intersections in the depicted embodiments may intersect such that a blended or lightly-rounded edge is formed. As such, there may be no “hard” edge present at such locations. A virtual edge may nonetheless be defined at such locations, as represented by a “tangent line” or “tangent edge” which are depicted as grey, dash-dot-dot lines. The tangent edges, for the sake of clarity, represent transitions between a surface and a rounded surface, i.e., where these two surfaces are tangent to one another.

Broken lines are used to depict features or elements that are not considered to be part of the claimed design, for example, as evidenced in FIGS. 1-27 by the removal of shading within the disclaimed features and elements, and the presence of shading outside of the disclaimed features and elements.

Claims

We claim the ornamental design for a location sensor and flow rate meter, as shown and described.
