Description

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

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a first embodiment of my design comprising a shroud for liquid-filtration systems (e.g., a countertop water-filtration system) and a portion of a base of a liquid-filtration system;

FIGS. 2-3 are front and rear orthogonal views of the first embodiment;

FIGS. 4-5 are left and right orthogonal views of the first embodiment;

FIG. 6 is a top orthogonal view of the first embodiment;

FIG. 7 is a front perspective view of a second embodiment of my design comprising a shroud for liquid-filtration systems, the primary difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment being that the second embodiment does not include any portion of the base of the exemplary liquid-filtration system;

FIG. 8-9 are front and rear orthogonal views of the first embodiment;

FIGS. 10-11 are left and right orthogonal views of the second embodiment; and,

FIG. 12 is a top orthogonal view of the second embodiment.

The dashed lines in FIGS. 7-11 represent environmental structure and form no part of the claimed design. Specifically, the environmental structure in FIGS. 7-11 represent a portion of the base of an example of a liquid-filtration system.

All other surface(s) or portion(s) of the embodiments of our design not shown in the figures or otherwise described in the specification form no part of the claimed design.
