DEFINITION

Classification: 211/60.1

Article includes elongated portion:

(under subclass 13.1) Device designed to support in a stored or nonuse position at least one article which either (a) is slender along its total length or (b) has an predominate component slender along its total length (e.g., tool handle).

(1) Note. To be proper for this subclass, an article must be in either a stored or nonuse position when supported by the device. On the other hand, articles are considered to be in either nonstored or use position when the device

supporting them (a) is mounted on a structure associated with their work function (e.g., a spoon support mounted on a pan), (b) is carried by the article when doing its work function (e.g., a stand attached to pipe being smoked), (c) is intended to be placed adjacent to a work area and receive the article only for intervals in the work operation (e.g. a spoon support located near a plate during meals), (d) holds the article in a position in which it is intended to operate (e.g., a fishing pole having its line extended), or (e) has a structural feature which enhances the ability of the article to remain ready for use (e.g., a pipe held in a particular attitude which allows it to remain lit). In addition, although the mere display of an article is normally considered a nonuse position in this and the indented subclasses, in the case of articles having only visual utility (e.g., flag pole Christmas tree), it is considered as a use position.
