FIG. 3 is a rear side view of the design of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a left side view of the design of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a right side view of the design of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a top view of the design of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the design of FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of our new design of a viscometer;

FIG. 9 is a front view of the design of FIG. 8;

FIG. 10 is a rear side view of the design of FIG. 8;

FIG. 11 is a left side view of the design of FIG. 8;

FIG. 12 is a right side view of the design of FIG. 8;

FIG. 13 is a top view of FIG. 8;

FIG. 14 is a bottom view of FIG. 8;

FIG. 15 is a reference figure illustrating our new design of a viscometer in an energized state, in which certain words and numbers in the gray area in the drawing are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design;

FIG. 16 a reference figure illustrating an bracket portion of our new design of a viscometer in an rotated state; and,

FIG. 17 is a reference figure illustrating our new design of a viscometer in a use state, in which the broken lines indicating liquid for measurement are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

Unless otherwise noted, the broken lines in the above described FIGS. 1-17 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

The viscometer can be used to make an examination needle (measuring shaft) rotate in a sample, measure resistance to the examination needle in the sample by rotary torque, and obtain viscosity of the sample based on the above measurement. As shown in the reference figures, the viscometer can be portably stored since its bracket portion can be rotated.
