Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a top front perspective view of a dispenser showing the claimed design;



FIG. 2 is a bottom front perspective view thereof;



FIG. 3 is a front elevation view thereof;



FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof;



FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view thereof;



FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof;



FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof; and,



FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof.


The broken lines in the figures show environment that forms no part of the claimed design.


The figures are illustrated to show contrasting appearance giving the appearance of an illuminated surface. The white areas represent areas emitting or illuminated by light, and the contrasting gradient-shading represents the effect of emitted light on areas not emitting light (e.g., light from light-emitting areas illuminating portions of non-light emitting areas). The contrasting darker gray-shaded areas represent areas not emitting light.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a dispenser, as shown and described.
