FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the finger recesses in a cover of a filter cartridge showing our new design.

FIG. 2 is a first side view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a top view thereof.

FIG. 4 is a second side view thereof oriented 180 ° from the side view that is shown in FIG. 2.

FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the cover only. The bottom of the cartridge, which is shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, has been removed so that the bottom of the cover is clearly visible in this view; and,

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view, taken along lines 6—6 of FIG. 2, showing the recess in enlarged form for illustration purposes.

The broken line showing forms no part of the claimed design, and the shading is provided only to illustrate contour; it is not representative of tuxture, etc.

the grant prints no section headings; every part label below is ours, taken from that part's own first words
