DEFINITION

Classification: 242/290

Spool bearing brake:

(under subclass 285) Subject matter wherein the brake applies a relatively light retarding force to a bearing that supports the spool or to the end of a spool shaft to dampen free rotation of the spool.

(1) Note. For placement in this subclass, the bearing should be disclosed as having a special retarding element or surface distinct from a typical thrust bearing that might be found in subclass 321.
