DEFINITION

Classification: 343/878

(under subclass 700) Antennas including structure for maintaining the antennas or parts thereof in a fixed position or path of movement (adjustable) with respect to some other body or the earth.

(1) Note. For classification of the combination of an antenna and a support in this and the indented subclasses, there must be recited some significant antenna structure, i.e., structure that contributes electrically to the transmission of the signal between the receiver or transmitter and space through the antenna. The combination of an antenna claimed by name only and a support therefor claimed in detail is classified in Class 248. If in addition insulating features are recited classification is in Class

174, even though the signal leadin, or terminal is recited. See also (2) Note under subclass 888, below.
