 B25

Note(s)

The word "portable" is to be understood as including suspension for easy manual handling, e.g. in connection with spring-suspended portable apparatus for use along assembly lines.

 B25J
MANIPULATORS; CHAMBERS PROVIDED WITH MANIPULATION DEVICES (manipulators associated with rolling mills B21B 39/20; manipulators associated with forging machines B21J 13/10; cranes B66C; manipulators specially adapted for and associated with nuclear reactors G21C)
 B25J

Note(s)

The term "manipulator" is to be understood as covering 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.
