(under subclass 700) Subject matter wherein the antenna is combined with the cabinet which encloses the receiving or transmitting structure in such manner that a significant relationship exists between the antenna and cabinet.
(1) Note. A significant relationship may exist between the antenna and the cabinet when the antenna and cabinet have a common portion, when the antenna retracts into the hollow cabinet, when the antenna is shaped to correspond to the cabinet shape, or when the antenna is contained within the cabinet. However, when the cabinet is a mere support for the antenna mounted externally thereon, classification is not in this subclass, but in subclasses 878+, below.
(2) Note. Antennas combined with a housing or protective covering for the antenna alone are not classified in this subclass but in subclass 872, below.
