DEFINITION

Classification: 119/820

Pressure application (e.g., clamp for tendon, flank, hip, etc.):

(under subclass 816) Subject matter wherein the animal-carried leg or arm limiting means includes means for applying localized pressure to an area of an animal's body to limit or discourage leg or arm movement.

(1) Note. Pressure application is typically performed by utilizing jaws of a clamp to squeeze a localized area of a body such as a tendon, etc.

(2) Note. The pressure is not limited to pressure applied to a limb, such as a limb tendon or muscle, etc., but may be

applied to an area other than the limb, such as a flank, hip, loin, etc., so long as it functions to limit or discourage movement of a limb.

(3) Note. The applied pressure is the restraint and not a mere vehicle for attaching (i.e., clamping) a restraining means to the animal.
