Description

FIG. 1 is an upper front perspective view of the chair showing my design;

FIG. 2 is a left perspective view of the chair;

FIG. 3 is another left perspective view of the chair;

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the chair;

FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view of the chair;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the chair;

FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view of the chair; and,

FIG. 8 is left side elevational view of the chair.

The right side elevational view of the chair is omitted because it is a mirror image of the left side elevational view.

Throughout the Figures, portions represented by broken lines are not parts of the claimed design; portions represented in dot-dashed broken lines represent boundaries of the claimed design; the parallel thin lines on the surfaces of the chair represent surface shading and do not illustrate ornamentation or decoration; and the other thin lines on surfaces of the chair are ridgelines to specify the shape of solid surfaces.

Claims

The ornamental design for a chair, as shown and described.
