DEFINITION

Classification: 119/816

Leg or arm (e.g., hopple, fetter, suspended trammel, etc.):

(under subclass 814) Subject matter wherein the animal-carried limiting means restricts, encumbers, discourages, or otherwise prevents full use or movement of an animal limb other than a wing (i.e., leg or arm), or any foot, toe, hand, claw, etc., appended to the limb.

(1) Note. Included in this subclass are animal-carried devices in addition to those directly attachable to a limb, such as a weight, bar, etc. (i.e., trammel), attachable to an animal via a collar or the like in such a way that the trammel will flail about and strike the animal's legs or other body portion as it runs, jumps, or performs other undesired actions involving its limbs, to thereby discourage such actions.

(2) Note. Also included in this subclass is a neck-carried barrier or shield for preventing a foot from reaching past the neck to, for example, scratch an ear, which should be distinguished from a device provided for elsewhere such as a neck carried device to prevent a neck from bending or a mouth from reaching an area of the same animal to, for example, prevent self biting; or a protective shield in the form of a cover for a localized area of the body.
