The evenly broken lines are shown for the purpose of illustrating cross hatching applied to cut surfaces that form no part of the claim. The dot-dot-dash broken lines represent environmental subject matter of an exemplary bottle. None of the broken lines for part of the claimed design. Cross-hatching provided on cut surfaces forms no part of the claimed design. Contrast in appearance is shown by the use of line shading in some areas and stippling in others.
