Description

FIG. 1 is a front/left/top perspective view of a container according to our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front plan view thereof, for which the rear elevational view would be identical;

FIG. 3 is a right side plan view thereof, for which the left side plan view would be identical;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof.

The inside surfaces of the container visible in FIGS. 1 and 4 form no part of the claimed design since the inside surfaces are hidden when the container is closed with a lid.

The broken lines immediately adjacent the shaded areas represent the bounds of the claimed designs, while all other broken lines are directed to environment and are for illustrative purposes only; the broken lines form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

We claim an ornamental design for a container, as shown and described.
