DEFINITION

Classification: 335/276

(under subclass 270) Subject matter wherein the armature is mounted upon a support such that it has a pivotal movement toward or away from the magnetic core or stop means when energized.

(1) Note. Pivotal movement as used here refers to armatures, usually elongated members supported at a point intermediate its ends to provide an up and down or back and forth movement of the armature, such as seesaw fashion; or the elongated armature member is supported at one end such as with a pivotal pin and the movement of the armature is perpendicular to the axis of the pivot means.

(2) Note. This subclass provides for elongated center pivot type armature.
