DEFINITION

Classification: 401/88

(under subclass 49) Implement comprising a holder#.

(1) Note. The material may be retained in the holder by adhesion or by a tight fit (e.g., conventional wooden pencil, cue stick chalker, etc.).

(2) Note. A patent to a piece of solid coating material, per se, having a shaped end for contacting the work will be placed in subclass 49 even if disclosed in combination with a holder but not so claimed.

(3) Note. A patent to a holder, per se, for such typical coating materials as writing sticks, cosmetic sticks, soap sticks, etc., will be placed in this or an indented subclass.

(4) Note. A patent for a holder of general utility, in which the tool is claimed broadly and disclosed alternatively as a solid coating material tool of this class or a tool classifiable in another class, will be placed in this or an indented subclass as an original copy, and cross-referenced in the class(es) providing for the other disclosed tool(s).

(5) Note. A patent to the combination of a holder# and a unit consisting of a piece of material and an expendable sheath#, will be placed in this subclass, rather than in indented subclasses 97+. SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

49, for a patent to a piece of solid coating material having a shaped end for contacting the work; and see (2) Note, above.
