DETAILS OF INSTRUMENTS, OR COMPARABLE DETAILS OF OTHER APPARATUS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR
Notes
(1)
This subclass covers only details which are not restricted to measuring instruments or to any other apparatus covered by a single class.
(2)
This subclass does not cover:
-
details covered by any other subclass in section A, F, G or H. In particular, details restricted to the measuring instruments are covered by the relevant subclasses of class G 01, e.g. G 01 D;
-
constructional details restricted to electric apparatus, e.g. casings, screenings, which are covered by subclass H 05 K or the relevant subclass in section H.
(3)
Attention is drawn to the Notes following the title of section G, especially as regards to the definition of the term "measuring" in Note (2) following the title of class G 01.
