159HAVING ROTOR ELEMENT BIASED AGAINST ROTATION {1}
160  DF  .~> By resilient biasing means (e.g., spring)


DEFINITION

Classification: 318/159

(under the class definition) Subject matter in which the motor comprises a rotatable power output element (rotor) combined with means for exerting a torque in opposition to and simultaneously with the motor torque.

(1) Note. Examples of means for producing the opposing torque which are included in this subclass: elastic or spring devices interconnecting the rotor and stationary part of the motor; a pulley or drum mounted on the rotor with a weighted flexible member attached thereto and adapted to rotate the rotor.
