Abstract
Description

The file of this patent contains at least one drawing/photograph executed in color. Copies of this patent with color drawing(s)/photograph(s) will be provided by the Office upon request and payment of the necessary fee.



FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wall-mounted toggle switch with contextually-changing color ring showing our new design.



FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.



FIG. 3 is a right side view thereof.



FIG. 4 is a front view thereof showing a first color fill state associated with a first level of activation of a first controlled home system.



FIG. 5 is a front view thereof showing a second color fill state associated with a second level of activation of the first controlled home system.



FIG. 6 is a front view thereof showing a third color fill state associated with a third level of activation of the first controlled home system.



FIG. 7 is a front view thereof showing a fourth color fill state associated with a fourth level of activation of the first controlled home system.



FIG. 8 is a front view thereof showing a first color fill state associated with a first level of activation of a second controlled home system.



FIG. 9 is a front view thereof showing a second color fill state associated with a second level of activation of the second controlled home system.



FIG. 10 is a front view thereof showing a third color fill state associated with a third level of activation of the second controlled home system.



FIG. 11 is a front view thereof showing a fourth color fill state associated with a fourth level of activation of the second controlled home system.



FIG. 12 is a front view thereof showing a first color fill state associated with a first period of a waiting state.



FIG. 13 is a front view thereof showing a second color fill state associated with a second period of the waiting state.



FIG. 14 is a front view thereof showing a third color fill state associated with a third period of the waiting state.



FIG. 15 is a front view thereof showing a fourth color fill state associated with a fourth


period of the waiting state; and,



FIG. 16 is a perspective view thereof showing a fourth color fill state associated with a fourth period of the waiting state.


The appearance of the wall-mounted toggle switch transitions between the images shown in FIGS. 4-7 and FIGS. 8-11, respectively, as the corresponding controlled system is activated to increasing levels. The appearance of the wall-mounted toggle switch transitions between the images shown in FIGS. 12-16 as the corresponding control system works during associated wait periods. With respect to all FIGS. 4-16, the process or period in which one image transitions to another forms no part of the claimed design. The broken lines showing a back end body and wires form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
  • We claim the ornamental design for a wall-mounted toggle switch with contextually-changing color ring, as shown and described.
