Description
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container for a clothes washing
machine; and,
FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.
The broken lines in the drawings depict the boundary of the claim.
It is understood that the claim extends to the boundary, but that
the boundary forms no part of the claimed design. Only one side
view is shown since the container is cylindrical and the textured
pattern will appear the same in other side views.
