DEFINITION

Classification: 16/110.1

HANDLE, HANDLE COMPONENT, OR HANDLE ADJUNCT:

(under the class definition) Subject matter, not otherwise classified, wherein the device comprises (1) a construction which is attached or intended to be attached to a number of implements (e.g., utensil, appliance, tool, etc.) or such items as movable structures (e.g., door or drawer, etc.) or carried means (e.g., luggage, casket, container, etc. ) for the purpose of manipulating such, (2) a subcombination of such a construction, or (3) an accessory which cooperates with the construction while it is attached for use.

(1) Note. The inclusion of the structure of a handle shaft will not exclude a reference from classification in this subclass.

(2) Note. Handles in other classes.

(3) Note. The following See or Search Class notes include six subject areas as indicated: (1) for receptacles, (2) for tools, implements, and analogous devices, (3) for handles, handtools, and analogous devices for operating mechanisms, (4) for boat, buoy, and vehicle handholds and handles, (5) for handling fastening devices, and (6) other handles and attachments or attaching means.
