DEFINITION

Classification: 119/831

Having muzzle-encircling jaw restraint or mouth obstruction (e.g., muzzle, etc.):

(under subclass 822) Subject matter wherein the animal-carried mouth or throat limiting means includes structure adapted to be mounted around or in front of an animal's upper and lower jaws to limit separation between the upper and lower jaws, or to physically block at least a portion of the mouth opening.

(1) Note. The muzzle-encircling restraint actually performs the jaw restraining or mouth obstructing function, as opposed to being a mere support for a restraint.
