DEFINITION

Classification: 338/232

(under subclass 226) Subject matter wherein the casing or housing is in two or more parts which are readily openable or separable as to provide access to or to permit removal of the resistance element, and/or wherein the casing or housing together with the element includes structure or has a configuration to permit removal or separation of the element from the casing or housing.

(1) Note. For classification here the casing may be formed in two parts as a box and cover. The parts may be secured together by screw threads, snaps, or by gravity with the resistor positioned for gravity to maintain a closing effect on the two parts. The element and casing may also include this structure to permit ready separation.
