DEFINITION

Classification: 242/378.2

End segment anchored:

(under subclass 378.1) Subject matter wherein an end of one of the sections of material remote from the spool is fixed.

(1) Note. A reel found in this subclass typically moves toward an anchored end of the material during winding and has utility as a yieldable slack take-up device (e.g., for an electrical cord or leash).
