Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a front, top, right side…

FIG. 1 is a front, top, right side perspective view of a medical waste collection unit showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a rear, top, right side perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top view thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a bottom view thereof.

The dotted broken lines in the drawings depict portions of the medical waste collection unit that form no part of the claimed design. The dotted broken lines with extended linear segments in FIGS. 1 through 6 represent a boundary that does not exist in reality in the article. It should be appreciated that when boundary lines are included, the claimed design extends to the boundary line but does not include the boundary.
