Description

FIG. 1 is a starboard side perspective view looking forwardly at a bilge intake for a marine vessel according to our design.

FIG. 2 is a starboard side view thereof;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged, starboard side perspective view, looking forwardly, thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear perspective view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a front perspective view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a starboard side view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a front view thereof; and,

FIG. 9 is a top view thereof.

The uneven dot-dash lines in the figures represent the bounds of the claimed design. The even broken lines in the figures show portions of the bilge intake for marine vessels that form no part of the claim as well as showing environmental structure of the marine vessel that form no part of the claimed design.

Also while the drawings show the bilge intake on the starboard side of the marine vessel, the present patent claim equally applies to the ornamental appearance of the bilge intake as a mirror image on the port side of the marine vessel also to the design comprising the bilge intake as a mirror image on both the port and starboard sides of the marine vessel.

Claims

The ornamental design for a bilge intake for a marine vessel as shown and described.
