283  DF  ZIGZAG OR SINUOUS RESISTANCE ELEMENT {10}
290.~ Element projects in or through an opening or a slot in a support or frame


DEFINITION

Classification: 338/290

(under subclass 283) Subject matter wherein the resistance element is disposed for a part (substantially less than all) of its length in a slot, notch, or other opening in the frame or support, the frame or support directly engaging the element over a portion of its length, usually for the purpose of positioning the element on the frame or support.

(1) Note. In this subclass the element is disposed in a notch or slot for a small part of its length where it passes through the frame or support for supporting purposes. While in subclass 284 above the element lies in a groove in a base over substantially its entire length, usually for the purpose of imparting rigidity to the element.

58, for ventilated zigzag type resistors.

252, for a resistor whose element is embedded in a groove in the casing.

285, for a zigzag or sinuous type resistor whose element extends along a groove for substantially the entire length of the element. See also (1) Note above.

303, for a helical or wound resistor whose element is disposed in an opening or groove in a frame or support. 310, for resistors generally whose elements extend through a base.

317, for resistors generally whose elements extend through a support.
