DEFINITION

Classification: 439/476.1

INCLUDING HANDLE OR DISTINCT MANIPULATING MEANS:

(under the class definition) Electrical connector combined with or having (a) particular means to be engaged by an operative's hand or (b) a particular handheld implement that is separate from the connector and is used for maneuvering the connector randomly into assembly and connection with another connector.

(1) Note. A structure disclosed as being used for grasping by an operative is in this and the indented subclasses only when there is novelty in the handle feature.

(2) Note. A handle for operating a relatively movable portion of a connector is not included herein.
