Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a front view of the…

FIG. 1 is a front view of the first image in the sequence for an animated image for a portion of a display screen showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front view of the second image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front view of the third image thereof;

FIG. 4 is a front view of the fourth image thereof;

FIG. 5 is a front view of the fifth image thereof;

FIG. 6 is a front view of the sixth image thereof;

FIG. 7 is a front view of the seventh image thereof;

FIG. 8 is a front view of the eighth image thereof;

FIG. 9 is a front view of the ninth image thereof; and,

FIG. 10 is a front view of the tenth image thereof.

The appearance of the animated image sequentially transitions between the images shown in FIGS. 1-10. The process or period in which one image transitions to another forms no part of the claimed design. The broken line drawing of a portion of a display screen in all views is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design. The broken line in all views also represents an unclaimed boundary of the claimed design.
