B 25HAND TOOLS; PORTABLE POWER-DRIVEN TOOLS; HANDLES FOR HAND IMPLEMENTS; WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT; MANIPULATORS


B 25 JMANIPULATORS; CHAMBERS PROVIDED WITH MANIPULATION DEVICES (manipulators associated with rolling mills B 21 B 39/20; manipulators associated with forging machines B 21 J 13/10; means for holding wheels or parts thereof B 60 B 30/00; cranes B 66 C; manipulators specially adapted for, or associated with, nuclear reactors G 21 C) [5]


 Note

 In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:

 "manipulator" covers handling tools, devices, or machines having a gripping or work head capable of bodily movement in space and of change of orientation, such bodily movement and change of orientation being controlled, at will, by means remote from the head.
