In each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments, oblique line shading represents portions of our new design that are transparent or translucent.
In each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments, solid gray shading represents a color contrast in the sense that the portions of our new design so shaded, which may be any color, for example, red, black, silver, white, gray, blue, green, or yellow, are in color contrast with the portions of our new design that are not so shaded, including the transparent or translucent portions of our new design.
In FIGS. 15-20, 25, and 26, the solid gray shading varies in tone and thus includes lighter solid gray shading and darker solid gray shading. The lighter solid gray shading represents the solid gray shaded portions of our new design that are viewed through one of the transparent or translucent portions of our new design. The darker solid dark gray shading represents the solid gray shaded portions of our new design that are not viewed through any of the transparent or translucent portions of our new design.
In each of FIGS. 21, 27, and 28, the solid gray shading does not vary in tone and only includes the lighter solid gray shading, which represents the solid gray shaded portions of our new design that are viewed through the one of the transparent or translucent portions of our new design.
In each of FIGS. 22-24, the solid gray shading does not vary in tone and only includes the darker solid gray shading, which represents the solid gray shaded portions of our new design that are not viewed through any of the transparent or translucent portions of our new design.
In FIGS. 1-14, the absence of solid gray shading does not limit each of the first, second, and third embodiments to a single color or a single combination of colors, but instead represents that each of the first, second, and third embodiments may be any color or may have any combination of colors, including combinations of colors according to which different portions of our new design have different colors.
In FIGS. 3-6, 8-10, 17-20, and 22-24, the stippled shading indicates a contrasting material.
