DEFINITION

Classification: 359/526

Vibration:

(under subclass 520) Subject matter wherein the signal reflector attracts attention by its own random movement relative to its support.

(1) Note. This reflector is not driven by any motor or other source of energy such as the wheel of a vehicle or the wind.

(2) Note. The reflector is wobbly mounted with respect to its support.

(3) Note. The reflector has additional movement from that created by its support (i.e., it is suspended from its support bracket).

(4) Note. Reflectors rigidly mounted to a support via a helical or other spring belong in this subclass since they will vibrate.

(5) Note. A reflector attached to a mudflap of a vehicle would be classified here since the movement of the mudflap having the reflector attracts attention.

(6) Note. Rigidly mounted reflectors such as bicycle reflectors mounted on the frame do not belong here but in subclass 550.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS: 520, for reflectors that are in a continuous state of motion

relative to their support.

549, for reflectors that are rigidly mounted on a moving vehicle.
