Description

FIGS. 1-7 are perspective, left side elevation, right side elevation, front elevation, rear elevation, top, and bottom views, respectively, of the pump assembly having two outlets with the two outlets of a pump assembly oriented at 90 degrees with respect to one another, where the upper outlet includes a collared portion, and where the side outlet includes no collar or is flush;

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of configurations of the pump assembly having two outlets illustrated in FIGS. 1-7 whereby the upper outlet includes no collar (or is flush) and the side outlet includes a collar;

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of configurations of the pump assembly having two outlets illustrated in FIGS. 1-7 whereby both outlets include a collar; and,

FIG. 10 is a perspective view of configurations of the pump assembly having two outlets illustrated in FIGS. 1-7 whereby neither outlet includes a collar (or both are flush).

The two outlets are set apart from other unclaimed subject matter by boundary lines surrounding the claimed subject matter. Portions of the two outlets and/or the pump assembly are shown in broken line to illustrate unclaimed environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design, including, for example, all portions of the pump assembly not associated with the two outlets or adjoining surfaces. Similarly, it should be understood that a specific distance between the outlets (e.g., vertically, horizontally or both) is not being claimed. Due to the similarity of the configurations of FIGS. 1-7, 8, 9 and 10, the other views of the configurations of FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 should be readily apparent from the disclosure of FIGS. 1-10.

As mentioned above, the pump assembly shown in broken lines in the figures depict unclaimed environmental subject matter, are for illustrative purposes only, and form no part of the claimed design. Similarly, unshaded portions that appear between broken lines or beyond boundary or break lines in the figures or without stippling form no part of the claimed design and indicate that a specific width, height and/or length forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims

We claim the ornamental design for pump assembly having two outlets, as shown and described.
