Description

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of the claimed design.

FIG. 2 is a first side elevation view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a detail side elevation view taken from detail 3 of FIG. 2.

FIG. 4 is a second side elevation view of the claimed design.

FIG. 5 is a sectional side elevation view taken from line 5-5 of FIG. 6.

FIG. 6 is a front elevation view of the claimed design.

FIG. 7 is a rear elevation view thereof.

FIG. 8 is a sectional rear elevation view taken from line 8-8 of FIG. 3.

FIG. 9 is a top plan view of the claimed design.

FIG. 10 is a detail top plan view taken from detail 10 of FIG. 9. A bottom view of the article of manufacture in which the design is embodied would not show any ornamentation and is therefore not shown; and,

Meanwhile, the dot-dash broken lines shown in FIGS. 1-3, 6, 8, 9, and 10 at the edges of the claimed surfaces designate a boundary of the claimed design that forms no part of the claimed design, the dot-dash broken lines shown in FIGS. 1, 9, and 10 represent environment and, more specifically, reference lines, that form no part of the claimed design, and the dot-dash broken lines shown in FIG. 11 represent environment and, more specifically, hands of a user of the packaging, that form no part of the claimed design.
