(under subclass 129) Systems having a plurality of load devices connected in the system.
(1) Note. The signal, indicator, or alarm means may indicate the condition of only one of the plurality of load devices, or of its supply circuit.
(2) Note. Where a single lamp or a single discharge device is the ultimate load device, and the system includes an additional lamp and/or discharge device in the circuit which is connected in the circuit so as to control and/or modify the current and/or potential supplied to such single ultimate load device, the patent is classified as a plural load device system if (a) the controlling and/or modifying device is a lamp, or (b) the controlling and/or modifying device is limited in the claims to being a gas or vapor discharge device. Conversely, such a system is not classified as a plural load device system where the controlling and/or modifying device is claimed broadly as a discharge device even though it is disclosed as a gas or vapor discharge device.
The controlling and/or modifying device may be connected in the control circuit of the discharge device where the ultimate load device is a discharge control discharge device, and the same basis of classification is used as is set forth above.
