Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of an electric coffee machine having a generally circular base, a generally spherical boiler situated above and generally in alignment with the generally circular base, and a cantilever arm extending between the generally circular base and the generally spherical boiler; the generally circular base has generally flat and parallel upper and lower surfaces and a continuous outer surface extending at right angles between the upper and lower surfaces; the cantilever arm has parallel side edges and generally parallel closely spaced-apart inner and outer surfaces; the cantilever arm extends part way across the lower surface of the generally circular base and then extends outwardly and upwards through a smooth curve away from the generally circular base to an upper bend in the cantilever arm, the cantilever arm then extending downwards from the upper bend and curves slightly inwards to a stepped lower section of the generally spherical boiler; the cantilever arm has a generally cylindrical short projection with a rounded end extending downwards from the outer surface of the cantilever arm at a location spaced a short distance away from the continuous outer surface of the generally circular base; the generally spherical boiler has a circular groove situated adjacent the upper end thereof and a stepped lower section, the circular groove and the stepped lower section both extend generally parallel to the generally circular base; a container having a domed lower surface and a handle portion extending radially therefrom in a direction away from the cantilever arm is situated in alignment with and extends downwardly from the stepped lower section of the generally spherical boiler; a domed projection is situated on the lower surface of the generally spherical boiler above the stepped lower section thereof and has a vertically extending slot therein; a handle portion extends upwardly from the vertical slot and merges into a generally hemispherical upper end portion; a second circular groove is situated on the lower surface of the generally spherical boiler above the stepped lower section thereof and is vertically aligned with the radially extending handle portion; an inner cylindrical and an outer aligned cylindrical projection of smaller diameter extend outwardly from an upper section of the generally spherical boiler on the side of the spherical boiler opposite from the upwardly extending handle portion; the inner cylindrical projection has an intermediate flat disc section extending upwardly therefrom; the second aligned projection has a domed end section and a further cylindrical projection extending downwardly therefrom which merges into a downwardly extending tube portion having an outwardly flared lower section.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of the design for the electric coffee machine;Fig. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;Fig. 3 is a rear elevational view thereof;Fig. 4 is a right side elevational view thereof;Fig. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof;Fig. 6 is a top plan view thereof; andFig. 7 is a bottom plan view thereof.Diagrams of the design are included.
