DEFINITION

Classification: 318/101

(under subclass 34) Subject matter in which means are provided for starting and/or stopping one or more of a group of two or more electric motors.

(1) Note. This subclass is a residual subclass for patents relating primarily to starting and/or stopping of electric motors. Starting and/or stopping of electric motors is an incident of, or is combined with many other motor operations controls. For example, when accelerating a motor from rest to its normal running speed the motor is started as a necessary incident; likewise in decelerating, or braking to a condition of inaction, a motor is stopped. Also in reversing, a motor is usually stopped and started in the reverse direction.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

18+, for follow-up systems of electric motor control wherein the motor is started as a result of the movement of the transmitter and stopped as a result of the stoppage of the transmitter.

53, for plural motor systems having automatic starting and/or stopping of plural motors in combination with other motor operations control.

90+, for plural motor systems having starting and/or stopping as a part of the acceleration and/or deceleration control of plural electric motors.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 192, Clutches and Power-Stop Control,

116.5+, for means for terminating the transmission of power to various driven devices.
