Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a top and outer surface perspective view of sensor of a multi-parameter sonde;



FIG. 2 is a first inner-side view thereof;



FIG. 3 is a top, second inner-side, central surface perspective view thereof;



FIG. 4 is a second inner-side view thereof;



FIG. 5 is a bottom, first inner-side and central surface perspective view thereof;



FIG. 6 is a bottom, second inner-side, and central surface perspective view thereof;



FIG. 7 is a bottom and outer surface perspective view thereof;



FIG. 8 is a central surface view thereof;



FIG. 9 is an outer surface view thereof;



FIG. 10 is a top surface view thereof;



FIG. 11 is a bottom surface view thereof;



FIG. 12 is a top, first inner-surface, outer perspective view thereof; and



FIG. 13 is a bottom, central surface view thereof; and,



FIG. 14 is a top perspective view showing sensors of FIGS. 1-13 connected to a base and central support portion of a multi-parameter sonde, with one of the sensors removed, to illustrate the sensor in its intended environment; it being understood that the base and central support portion of the multi-parameter sonde forms no part of the claimed design. Only the distal end of the multi-parameter sonde is shown.


The broken line showing of structural features is included for the purpose of illustrating non-claimed subject matter and forms no part of the claimed design.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a sensor for a multi-parameter sonde, as shown and described.
