Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a coupling device for mounting tiles to a building showing our new design;



FIG. 2 is a back perspective view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 1;



FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 1;



FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 1;



FIG. 5 is a first side view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 1 (a second side view being substantially a mirror image of the first side view);



FIG. 6 is a top view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 1 (a bottom view being substantially similar to the top view);



FIG. 7 is a front perspective view of a coupling device for mounting tiles to a building showing our new design and similar to that of FIGS. 1-6 with selected features illustrated in broken lines for illustrative purposes and thus not constituting a part of the claimed design;



FIG. 8 is a back perspective view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 7;



FIG. 9 is a front elevational view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 7;



FIG. 10 is a rear elevational view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 7;



FIG. 11 is a first side view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 7 (a second side view being substantially a mirror image of the first side view); and,



FIG. 12 is a top view of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building of FIG. 7 (a bottom view being substantially similar to the top view).


All the broken lines except the lines on the very bottom of the article depict portions of the coupling device for mounting tiles to a building that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines on the very bottom of the article depict symbolic break lines. The symbolic break line and anything appearance of the article beyond this line form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a coupling device for mounting tiles to a building, as shown and described.
