Description

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first state in a sequence of a control device having illumination applied thereto showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front view showing a second state thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front view showing a third state thereof;

FIG. 4 is a front view showing a fourth state thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side view thereof, the right side view being a mirror image thereto; and,

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof, the bottom view being a mirror image thereto.

The drawings include shadows and reflections which indicate contour, not surface ornamentation.
