(under subclass 40) Structures claiming single towers, poles or posts. The combination of tower, pole or post with its cross-arms is here.
(1) Note. See this class, subclass 43, for patents claiming two or more towers, poles or posts in combination. A single tower may be comprised of a plurality of poles or posts.
(2) Note. For insulators and their securing means, per se, see this class, subclass 137 and indented subclasses.
(3) Note. See Class 52, Static Structures (e.g., Buildings), subclasses 40, 146+, 153+, 155+, 292+, 651.01+, and 720.1+ for a mast, pole or post not restricted to electrical use.
(4) Note. See Class 191, Electricity: Transmission to Vehicles, particularly subclasses 32, and 33 and indented subclasses, for similar structures specially designed for transmission to moving vehicles or objects, i.e., to support a conductor for contact by a relatively movable collector.
(5) Note. See Class 362, Illumination, subclass 431, for lamp-post.
(6) Note. See Class 343, Communications: Radio Wave Antennas, subclasses 874+ for mast or tower type antennas; subclass 886 for antennas horizontally suspended between poles or standards; and subclasses 890+ for antennas on a post, standard or tower.
