FIG. 1 is a front view of a suspension textile sheet used for a chair backrest;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail view of area 2 circumscribed within FIG. 1 ; and,

FIG. 3 is a rear view of the suspension textile sheet of FIG. 1 .

The suspension textile sheet becomes darker in value in the central area of the sheet. The sheet is further characterized by a pattern of light, dark, and middle value stripes. There are voids in the sheet at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal stripes.

The long and short broken lines surrounding the inner area of FIGS. 1 and 3 depict the boundaries of the claim and form no part thereof. The horizontal stripes as shown in broken line in the detail view, FIG. 2 , are portions of the suspension textile sheet that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines illustrating a chair in FIGS. 1 and 3 depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design. The long and short broken lines circumscribing the detail area in FIGS. 1 and 2 are not claimed.
