DEFINITION

Classification: 15/250.001

Optical-member-attachable cleaner (e.g., windshield wiper):

(under subclass 246) Apparatus intended to be used to clean a section of glass or other optical element and disclosed as being particularly configured for attachment to the optical element or an adjacent structure.

(1) Note. The optical member cleaner may be of any type found in this class, however, usually they are of the squeegee type.

(2) Note. Patents are classified in this subclass, and indented subclasses, if any structure is disclosed which particularly adapts the optical member cleaner to attach to a window. The mere disclosure of a bracket or other structure of the cleaner which is intended to form a connection between the cleaning element and optical member or adjacent structure is sufficient.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

103, for a window cleaning machine wherein the cleaning element is a wiper.

214, for an implement used as a wiper or polisher to clean an optical lens.

220.1+, for a wiper used as a window cleaning implement. 232, for a window cleaning wiper or polisher consisting of a flat sheet of fabric with means for holding the sheet flat.

245, for squeegee-type cleaner not configured to be attached to a windshield.

256.36+, for a squeegee disclosed as having a bracket or other means of attachment.

52, Static Structures (e.g., Buildings),

171.3+, for a window with treating means, not provided for elsewhere.

74, Machine Element or Mechanism, appropriate subclasses for a mechanism modified to provide motion to a cleaning element, but not claiming any cleaning structure.

91, Motors: Expansible Chamber Type, appropriate subclasses for a vacuum motor modified to be used to operate a window cleaner.

134, Cleaning and Liquid Contact With Solids,

6, for a process of cleaning windows by means of a solid work contacting means.

296, Land Vehicles, Bodies and Tops,

96.15+, for a windshield cleaner claimed in combination with a windshield or its supporting structure. 310, Electrical Generator or Motor Structure, appropriate subclasses for an electric motor modified to operate a window cleaner.

318, Electricity: Motive Power Systems, appropriate subclasses, particularly

280+, for means to reverse an electric motor.

418, Rotary Expansible Chamber Devices, appropriate subclasses for a rotary expansible chamber vacuum motor, per se.
