DEFINITION
Classification: 30/152
(under subclass 151) Implements in which the handle or sheath is specially designed to sheathe a plurality of cutlery implements of the same or unspecified nature.
(1) Note. This subclass is not intended to take patents where a plurality of blades are provided either at opposite ends or at the same end when this amounts to a mere duplication, but some structure must be claimed; e.g., a division plate, etc., which limits the invention to a plural blade tool.
(2) Note. See this class, subclasses 299+, and the notes thereunder, for other plural blade tools.
(3) Note. Where a plurality of blades are provided but different characters of implements are specified, they will be found in this class, subclass 143, or in Class 7, Compound Tools, subclasses 118+ and 167+.
