.~ Universally or pivotally adjustable supporting elements
DEFINITION
Classification: 439/534
Universally or pivotally adjustable supporting elements:
(under subclass 527) Coupling part including a first and a relatively positionable second holding or retaining means wherein (a1) the two means are connected together such that neither can rotate more than 360 deg. but one can pivot with respect to the other about an nonrotary axis; (a2) the two means are connected together such that rotation of one about a first axis is accompanied by corresponding rotation of the other about a second axis which intersects the first axis at a point, wherein the means are able to pivot about any other axis passing through that point; or (b) one of the means moves about a fixed axis with respect to the other; wherein the movement is to reposition one of the holding or retaining means with respect to the other.
(1) Note. The pivotal movement of this subclass is controlled; e.g.., a pliable connecting rod allowing similar movement is not included herein.
(2) Note. Under clause (a1) of this definition, the end of the movable member opposite from the pivot can move in the manner of a pencil when writing a letter "O".
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
6+, for relatively movable conductors arranged for universal movement including relatively moving mutually engaging contacts to transmit electricity during such movement.
11+, for relatively movable conductors arranged for pivotal movement including relatively moving mutually engaging contacts to transmit electricity during such movement.
164+, for an electrical connector including two components pivotally attached together for relative movement, combined with an intermediate pliable conductor.
