Description

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a first embodiment of a push up device;

FIG. 2 is a top view of the push up device of FIG. 1,

FIG. 3 is a first side view of the push up device of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is an opposite side view of the push up device of FIG. 1 to the view of FIG. 3;

FIG. 5 is a second side view of the push up device of FIG. 1; and

FIG. 6 is an opposite side view of the push up device of FIG. 1 to the view of FIG. 5.

The portions shown in broken lines form no part of the claimed design. Each broken line has dashes that are the same length as the other dashes of the line.

In particular, in FIG. 1, the raised central portion of the push-up device defines a rectangular dashed line that defines a boundary of a surface that forms no part of the claimed design. Dashed lines within the rectangular dashed line show depths of the disclaimed surface.

No portion of the surface within the rectangular dashed line is claimed. Three structures exterior of the rectangular dashed line are shown in dashed lines. These structures form no part of the claimed design. The raised central portion has four rounded corners. The lines shown extending on either side of each rounded corner denote contouring.

Five oval-shaped dashed lines are shown in FIG. 1 aligned along a base of the push-up device to define apertures that form no part of the claimed design. Additional dashed lines shown within some of these oval dashed lines define raised structures that extend through the apertures defined by the oval-shaped dashed lines (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The raised structures form no part of the claimed design. A portion of another aperture and raised structure partly visible in FIG. 1 also is shown in dashed lines and forms no part of the claimed design. The dashed lines forming the outer half ovals at the two outer wings of the push up device define outer boundaries of surface recesses in the wings. These recesses form no part of the claimed design. Each half oval has an inner dashed line that defines the depth of the recess, which forms no part of the claimed design. The circular dashed lines within the half ovals indicate a textured surface within the recess. The recessed surface and the texture form no part of the claimed design.

In FIG. 2, the rectangular dashed line and circular dashed lines within the raised central portion of the push-up device are visible. The contouring lines at the four corners of the raised central portion are visible. The surface within the rectangular dashed line is disclaimed. The surface within each outermost circular dashed line is disclaimed. In FIG. 2, the five oval- shaped dashed lines are shown at a bottom of FIG. 2 and an additional five oval-shaped dashed lines are shown at a top of FIG. 2. Each of the ten oval-shaped dashed lines defines a boundary of an aperture that forms no part of the claimed design. Six of these oval-shaped dashes lines surround additional dashed lines, which indicate raised structures (see FIGS. 3 and 4) that form no part of the claimed design. Each wing of the push-up device includes an outer half-oval dashed line that defines an outer boundary of a recessed surface, which forms no part of the claimed design. Each outer half-oval dashed line has a corresponding inner half-oval dashed line that defines a depth of the recessed surface, which forms no part of the claimed design. The circular dashed lines within the outer half-oval dashed line represent a textured surface that forms no part of the claimed design.

In FIG. 3, three of the raised structures referenced above are shown in dashed lines. These raised structures form no part of the claimed design. The contouring lines at two of the four corners of the raised central portion are visible.

In FIG. 4, another three of the raised structures referenced above are shown in dashed lines. These raised structures form no part of the claimed design. The contouring lines at two of the four corners of the raised central portion are visible.

In FIG. 5, two of the raised structures referenced above are shown in dashed lines. These raised structures form no part of the claimed design. The contouring lines at two of the four corners of the raised central portion are visible.

In FIG. 6, another two of the raised structures referenced above are shown in dashed lines. These raised structures form no part of the claimed design. The contouring lines at two of the four corners of the raised central portion are visible.

As used in the drawings, contour lines are not broken lines and form a part of the claimed design. Contour lines have dashes of alternating length.
