›FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of…

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an embodiment of a darkening drape showing our new design.

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a back view thereof.

FIG. 4 is a right side view thereof.

FIG. 5 is a left side view thereof.

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof.

FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof.

FIG. 8 is a front perspective view showing the embodiment of FIGS. 1-7 in the environment of having an exemplary handheld imaging device connected to the darkening drape.

FIG. 9 is a front view thereof.

FIG. 10 is a back view thereof.

FIG. 11 is a right side view thereof.

FIG. 12 is a left side view thereof.

FIG. 13 is a top view thereof; and,

FIG. 14 is a bottom view thereof.

The broken lines of even length showing a handheld imaging device mounted on the darkening drape in FIGS. 8-14 are provided for the purposes of illustrating environmental structure; whereas all other broken lines of even length in FIGS. 1-14 show portions of the darkening drape. The even broken lines showing the aforementioned handheld imaging device and portions of the darkening drape do not form part of the claimed design.

The dashed lines of uneven length in FIGS. 1-14 indicate that a portion of the darkening drape is of indefinite length.

The light weight lines in the figures show surface contour and material and not surface ornamentation.

The darkening drape is not limited to the scale shown herein.

In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, components of the darkening drape may be made of a thin, flexible material, such as, for example, a plastic film. It would be understood that the folds and wrinkles of the flexible material of the darkening drape may appear slightly different depending upon how the flexible material lays when packaged and deployed.
