(under subclass 238) Subject matter wherein structure is provided to position the resistance terminals or leads so that the spacing therebetween is small relative to the overall resistor dimensions.
(1) Note. Examples of the subject matter in this and the indented subclass are where the terminals are side by side or coaxial at one end of a resistor, as where the resistance element is looped, or where a connection between the terminal extends through a helical resistor, all being embedded in powdered insulation with a metallic sheath. For classification here definite structure must be provided to maintain the terminals adjacent, such as insulation joining the terminals or structure joining the ends of the metallic sheath. An elongated resistor with terminals at its ends and bent to position the terminals adjacent is not classified in this subclass, but in subclass 238 above.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
238, for resistors whose element is embedded in powdered material with a metallic sheath, the resistor being elongated and the terminals being at opposite ends of the sheath. See also (1) Note above.
265, for resistors whose casing or housing is formed as a coating, the element being coiled on a core with the terminals or leads at one end of the core.
271, for resistors whose terminal forms a casing or housing. 326, for resistors generally whose terminals are adjacent.
