DEFINITION

Classification: 338/179

(under subclass 176) Subject matter wherein the resistor is combined with a switch in series with the resistor.

(1) Note. Subject matter in this subclass includes a rectilinearly movable contact which may carry an operating means which opens or closes an electrical circuit through the resistance element upon movement of the contact.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

172+, for a variable resistor having an angularly slidable contact together with a switch.

178, for a variable resistor having a rectilinearly slidable contact separable from the resistance element for switching.

191, for a tap type resistor having an angularly movable contact together with a switch. 200+, for variable resistors generally with switches.

215, for a fixed resistor combined with a switch.
