(under subclass 50) Structures having means to couple a cable, wire or conduit to the box or housing. Such means may be the conduit or cable openings in the box, with or without a closure therefor. The subcombination of conduit or cable with connector is here.
(1) Note. This subclass includes casings and jackets that are of general utility and are otherwise within the subclass definition such as may be used for electric lamps, space discharge devices, and similar devices.
(2) Note. See Lines With Other Classes, 1., of the Class Definition for the electrical devices that include such envelopes and casings.
