DEFINITION

Classification: 359/543

With individual reflector element mount:

(under subclass 534) Subject matter including means for mounting the individual optical elements such as small socket-like mounts in which the elements are inserted and held or further including means for mounting the small socket-like mounts.

(1) Note. Reflector buttons that simply reflect light falling on them, autocollimating, without the creation of a single image of an object at a focal point are classified in this subclass rather than the lens subclasses of this class.

(2) Note. Although reflector buttons are often called "lenses" they are not classified in the lens subclasses of this class unless they create a single image of an object at a focal point.
