|
| 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. |
