A: Hello Annie,

I appreciate your inquiry regarding patent D968944S. While I'm unable to provide the actual image through this medium, you can access the design and detailed information by searching the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database using the patent number. This will allow you to compare the design with your product and assess any potential infringement concerns.
