Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 depicts an isometric view of a cooking appliance.



FIG. 2 depicts a front view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 3 depicts a back view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 4 depicts a top view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 5 depicts a bottom view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 6 depicts a side view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 7 depicts the other side view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 8 depicts an off-angle view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 9 depicts another off-angle view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 10 depicts yet another off-angle view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1.



FIG. 11 depicts another off-angle view of the cooking appliance of FIG. 1; and,



FIGS. 12-22 correspond to FIGS. 1-11, respectively, and are not shaded but do include tangent lines, which are shown as dash-dot-dot lines in these Figures.


The cooking appliance may be used for cooking, and may be considered a grill, bar-b-que, stove, or smoker.


Stipple shading is used in FIGS. 1-11 to convey surface contouring and not texture or surface finish.


It is to be understood that many of the surface intersections in the depicted embodiment may intersect such that a blended or lightly-rounded edge is formed. As such, there may be no “hard” edge present at such locations. At more prominent locations where rounded edges may be present, a virtual edge represented by a “tangent line” or “tangent edge” which are depicted as grey, dash-dot-dot lines may be used such as in FIGS. 12 through 22; such tangent lines or tangent edges are merely provided for the viewer's assistance.


Dash-dash broken lines are used to depict features or elements that are not considered to be part of the claimed design. Dash-dot-dash broken lines are boundary lines that indicate transitions between claimed and unclaimed regions of the depicted articles, for example, as evidenced in FIGS. 1-11 by the removal of shading within the disclaimed features and elements, and the presence of shading outside of the disclaimed features and elements.


Claims
  • We claim the ornamental design for a cooking appliance, as shown and described.
