Adaptor seal

Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an adaptor seal for a humidifier/respiratory apparatus according to our design;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is a left side view thereof, with the right side view thereof being a mirror image thereof.

Broken lines (dash-dot-dash) represent environment or structure and do not form part of the claimed design.

Dotted lines represent the border between claimed and unclaimed subject matter and do not form a part of the claimed design.

The top and bottom views are not shown because they are similar to FIG. 4, the only difference is that the top and bottom views would be rotated 90.degree. clockwise and 90.degree. counterclockwise, respectively, compared to FIG. 4.

Throughout the various figures of the drawings, certain views may not be provided. The omission of a particular view is intended to convey that the element(s) depicted is/are plain and unornamented in that omitted view, or that the particular ornamental appearance in that view is simply not claimed.

Claims

CLAIM The ornamental design for an adaptor seal, as shown and described.
