(under subclass 168) Devices in which the conductor is held in or on a member other than the insulating body proper, which member is in turn secured or adapted to be secured to the insulating body. This includes, for example, caps, pins, and other elements having a portion secured to the insulator and another portion provided with conductor receiving means.
(1) Note. This subclass and indented subclasses do not include devices designed to hold or position the conductor on the surface of the insulator or in a groove or slot formed therein. Such devices are in this class, subclass 168, or other appropriate indented subclass.
(2) Note. For inventions in the manner of securing the fitting or terminal to the insulating body, see this class, subclass 176 and indented subclasses.
