Floor of an animal cage
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the floor of an animal cage showing my new design;
FIG.2 is a bottom plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken across the lines 3--3;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along lines 4--4 showing the substantial features of FIG. 3 in elevation;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of a corner portion of the animal cage with the floor showing my new design, the walls of the animal cage being shown with broken lines for illustrative purposes and forming no part of the claimed design; and,
FIG. 6 is a greatly enlarged perspective view of the circled area in FIG. 1 as viewed from underneath.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are shown broken away horizontally and vertically to indicate indeterminate length, it being understood that the pattern shown is repeated uniformly throughout the width and the length. The broken lines around the peripheral edge of the floor in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 define the boundary of the claimed design and form no part thereof.
