.~ Resistance element adjustably short-circuited {5}
95
.~.~ With intervening structure between element and short-circuiting means (e.g., taps)
DEFINITION
Classification: 338/95
(under subclass 92) Subject matter wherein a plurality of otherwise electrically separate conducting structures are each electrically connected to the resistance element along its length, the short circuiting structure being adjustably connected between these conducting structures.
(1) Note. The separate conducting structures themselves may be pressed into contact with one another to form in themselves the short circuiting means.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
94, for a tap type resistor whose element is adjustably short-circuited by a conducting liquid.
185, for variable resistors of the tap type.
198, and 200+, for variable resistors with switches.
