Description

The sole FIGURE is a front view of a blank for a tissue box according to our new design.

The blank for a tissue box is shown with symbolic breaks. The appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines forms no portion of the claimed design.

The short broken lines are shown for the purpose of illustrating parts of the article that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines consisting of dot-dash lines are boundary lines that show that the claimed design extends to, but does not include, the boundary lines.

The Kleenex logo shown in dashed lines in the drawing is a registered trademark of Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. and forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims
