(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein the resistance element includes elongated filaments, strands, or fibres of resistive material which are woven, braided, or knitted together or with other filaments, strands, or fibres
of nonresistive material (conductive or insulating) to form the element as a mesh, weave, or braid.
(1) Note. For classification in this subclass the resistive filaments, strands, or fibres must be part of the weave, mesh, or braid. A mere resistive filament, strand, or fibre secured to or interlaced through a fabric is not classified here, but in subclasses 306+ and 310 below.
(2) Note. A mere plurality of twisted strands, filaments, or fibres are not classified here, but is in subclasses 214 and 299 below.
(3) Note. A fabric with metal in the texture is classified in Class 139, Textiles: Weaving, subclass 425, even though the metal be resistive and/or will produce heat upon passage of an electric current therethrough.
