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
