FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of an ablation generator of our new design.
FIG. 2 is a front elevation thereof.
FIG. 3 is a rear elevation thereof.
FIG. 4 is a right side elevation thereof.
FIG. 5 is a left side elevation thereof.
FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof.
FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view thereof.
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the area identified by numeral “8” in FIG. 1, illustrating the horizontal line features as surface ornamentation.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of an ablation generator of our new design.
FIG. 10 is a front elevation thereof.
FIG. 11 is a rear elevation thereof.
FIG. 12 is a right side elevation thereof.
FIG. 13 is a left side elevation thereof.
FIG. 14 is a top plan view thereof; and,
FIG. 15 is a bottom plan view thereof.
The horizontal line features depicted on the left and right sides of the front surface of the ablation generator in the second embodiment are surface ornamentation having an appearance similar to the horizontal line features illustrated in FIG. 8.
In the drawings, the broken lines are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the ablation generator that forms no part of the claimed design.
