DEFINITION

Classification: 119/766

Having rigid extension protruding from head, face, or muzzle area of animal (e.g., bar and halter, etc.):

(under subclass 758) Subject matter wherein the extension is a relatively stiff member (e.g., bar, hook, etc.) having its proximal attachment to an animal's ear, horn, or any portion of its head between and including its ears and nose.

(1) Note. Where a rigid extension, i.e., bar, has more than one proximal connection to a support, especially where the connections include attachments to different areas of the body, classification is proper in this subclass when the most distally located connection of the bar is attached to the head. Likewise, if a bar attached to the head protrudes from another area of the body (e.g., between and through the ears or horns over the neck), classification is proper in this subclass based upon the support location and is not affected by the fact that the distal fence engaging portion of the bar is located closer to another area of the body.
