(under the class definition) Devices which are provided with a handle.
(1) Note. This subclass excludes electric lamps including those of the discharge device type where the handle is separable from the electric lamp. For the excluded electric lamps, see Class 362, Illumination, appropriate subclasses, see especially subclasses 190+ for portable self contained illuminating devices which include a casing or handle for the lamp and means to supply the lamp with electricity (e.g., flashlights), subclasses 399+, and subclasses 382+ for miscellaneous light supports including separable handles for electric lamps.
(2) Note. Among the devices included in this subclass are spark gaps mounted on handles such as are used to ignite gas burners.

49, for devices under the class definition combined with a support or a detachable electrical connector for the device.

219, Electric Heating, appropriate subclasses, for arc welding electrode holders in which a handle supports a single electrode. Where the handle supports two or more electrodes and the device is not structurally limited to use in electric welding or heating, classification is in Class 313.
315, Electric Lamp and Discharge Devices: Systems,
33, for portable self contained devices which include a source of energy, a discharge device of the arc, spark, gas or vapor type (other than a lamp), and the system for connecting the source of energy to the discharge device.
362, Illumination, see (1) Note, above.
607, Surgery: Light, Thermal, and Electrical Application,
88, for electric lamps which are limited by claimed structure to use for therapeutic purposes which are provided with a handle and subclass 150 for discharge devices which are designed to transmit high frequency electric current into the human body which are provided with a handle. The devices in this subclass sometimes include an envelope with a confined gas or vapor, an electrode within the envelope and a handle for the device, the human body being used as the other electrode in the use of the device.
