69.5, for a birdbath.

600+, for currying, brushing, cleaning, massaging, or rubbing the coat of an animal. Note. The grooming device of subclass 600 and the indented subclasses comprises one "particularly adapted" to be used in the care of an animal. Note that since a comb is deemed to always align the hair of an animal and a brush may treat without aligning the hair, the concept of "particular adaptation has been applied somewhat differently for a comb and brush.

A comb of the type recognized as usable on an animal is not considered to be of general utility unless there is specific disclosure of general utility, and therefor is found in subclasses 600+; including a comb whose sole disclosure is to remove vermin while sliding through the hair of an animal.

A brush of the type recognized as usable on an animal is considered to be of general utility unless there is a specific disclosure that it is intended for use only in grooming an animal. Such a general utility brush is to be found in subclasses 650 if it is for antivermin treatment or cleaning.
