Description

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a shoe lace, showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof, the bottom plan view being a mirror image of the top;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof, the left side elevational view being a mirror image of the right side; and,

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational view being a mirror image of the front.

The shoe lace is shown broken in the middle along the length to indicate indeterminate length. The examiner finds the claim definite under 35 USC 112 second paragraph with the understanding that the “indeterminate” portion of the article forms no part of the claimed design. Patentability is based only on those portions of the shoe lace that are shown in solid lines.

Claims

The ornamental design for a shoe lace, as shown and described.
