DEFINITION

Classification: 119/809

For inhibiting tail switching:

(under subclass 712) Subject matter wherein the limiting means obstructs or discourages undesirable whipping movement of a caudal appendage, i.e., a tail, of an animal.

(1) Note. A device of this type may be used to prevent a cow from striking a milk pail or a person milking the cow and thus is often called a "cow tail holder".
