Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a portable sound device showing my new design;



FIG. 2 is a front view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;



FIG. 3 is a rear view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;



FIG. 4 is a left side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;



FIG. 5 is a right side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;



FIG. 6 is a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1; and,



FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the embodiment of FIG. 1.


The ornamental design which is claimed is shown in solid lines in the figures. The broken line showing of the portable sound device is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design. Broken lines formed by equal length dashes show unclaimed portions of the design. Broken lines formed of unequal length dashes (i.e., dash-dot) show boundaries between claimed and unclaimed portions of the design.


Claims
  • I claim the ornamental design for a portable sound device, as shown and described.
