DEFINITION

Classification: 119/739

Multiple stanchions:

(under subclass 738) Subject matter wherein plural sets of the horizontally separated, upright members prevent plural animals from retracting their head regions therethrough.

(1) Note. To be proper for this subclass, more than one stanchion must be claimed, or connecting or controlling structure for more than one stanchion, e.g., for causing simultaneous securement or release, etc., must also be claimed. Mere disclosure that a single stanchion may be used in a multiple stanchion environment without any claimed structure relating to the multiple stanchion environment is not proper for this subclass.
