Description

FIG. 1 is a front top right end perspective view of a transport and positioning skid showing my new design in a retracted state;

FIG. 2 is a rear top left end perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a top view thereof;

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

FIG. 5 is a right end view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a left end view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top view thereof in an extended state; and,

FIG. 8 is a front view thereof in an extended state, the rear view being a mirror image of FIG. 8.

Bottom views form no part of the claimed design.

The left and right end views of FIGS. 5 and 6 are not altered by relative extension and retraction movement of the upper and lower components.

The design consists of relatively extensible and retractable, elongate, generally rectangular, upper and lower components, with the upper component being narrower (measured front-to-rear) than the lower component and having a left end region closely positioned between spaced, elongate, parallel-extending front and rear portions of a generally U-shaped upper element of the lower component, with the lower component also defining a flat, elongate, generally rectangular central element underlaid by an elongate, generally rectangular lower element having upwardly inclined left and right end formations.

Claims

We claim the ornamental design for a transport and positioning skid, as shown and described.
