(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein a light source support or light source is combined with a component of a constructed stationary body, not classified elsewhere.
(1) Note. In this subclass and those indented hereunder are placed patents whose claims all relate to the illuminating features to be applied to a body component and such combinations with modifications of the body merely for the promotion of illumination. If novelty is claimed in the body or component structure with which a source of light is combined, which novelty is independent of the illumination, the patent is classified with the other body.
(2) Note. In this subclass and those indented hereunder, support elements for a light source or unit which do not also function as supports for components of the stationary body or building are not considered body components for placement in this section. That is, structure which has no other purpose than that of supporting a light source is not considered a static structure component for this section.
(3) Note. Class 52, Static Structures (e.g., Buildings), takes building structure including features having functions in addition to merely supporting the illuminating means or forming the enclosure, barrier or other structure illuminated. In interpreting this line, the presence of a claim to building structure not including illuminating means is considered conclusive of the fact that such additional function features are present.
