(under subclass 801) Subject matter wherein the hand-carried implement employs opposing, pivotally joined arms to clasp the animal.
(1) Note. A hook having a pivoted latching member to prevent escape of the animal being caught and held is classified elsewhere since the latching member pivots primarily to completely encircle the animal or part thereof rather than to grasp it.
