DEFINITION

Classification: 160/130

(under the class definition) Devices in which (1) a plurality of strips, slats and/or panels utilizing flexible material in their construction are claimed in combination or (2) a plurality of rigid strips, slats and/or panels are interconnected with each other for relative motion and form a single unit, or (3) both.

(1) Note. Plural rigid strips, slots or panels interconnected only by a common operator or support (including a frame) will be found in Class 49, Movable or Removable Closures and Class 454, Ventilation.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

39, for similar subject matter disclosed as a hood, canopy, shield or storage chamber for a flexible or portable panel

device.

84.01+, and 85+, for related subject matter as defined therein.

113+, for the combination of a plurality of units as defined in this subclass (130); and see the notes to said subclass (113) for the stated line between these two subclasses. 123+, (and the notes to subclass 123), for a plurality of separate hanging or drape type flexible panels.

332, for a plurality of chain cables or strands which hang from a support.

349, for bottom holding means, per se, even if disclosed with a device for this subclass (130).

353, for plural frames for single flexible panels.

371+, for framed or panel type devices; usually distinguished from this subclass (130) in that only a single fabric is used.

372+, for adjustable frames for single flexible panels, including those slidably interconnected U-shaped frame members with a single flexible fabric.

375+, for single frame type devices with slidable rigid edge sections, such devices not having been treated as plural strip, slat or panel type.

379, for those single frame type devices with intermediate reinforcing bars and members where there is but a single fabric for the frame.

380, for single fabrics clamped between two frame elements.
