FIG. 1 is a front view of an obround flush-mount faceplate.

FIG. 2 is a rear view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 .

FIG. 3 is a left side view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 .

FIG. 4 is a right side view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 .

FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 .

FIG. 6 is a top view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 .

FIG. 7 is an isometric view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 .

FIG. 8 is a front view of the obround flush-mount faceplate of FIG. 1 in an in-use state with a smartglass controller shown mounted therewith; and,

FIG. 9 is an isometric view of the obround flush-mount faceplate in the in-use state of FIG. 8 .

Dashed or broken lines and a lack of shading depict environmental subject matter that is not part of the claimed faceplate but is included to provide further context for the claimed design. Such environmental subject matter includes the back face of the obround flush-mount faceplate, as well as the obround smartglass controller portion seen in FIGS. 8 and 9 in the in-use state.

Stipple shading is used to show surface contouring and is not indicative of surface texture. Dash-dot-dash boundary lines are used to indicate transitions between broken line/unshaded areas and solid line/shaded areas.
