DEFINITION

Classification: 44/507

Hand manipulable (e.g., match, etc.):

(under subclass 506) Subject matter designed to be held in the hand of the user for ignition purposes.

(1) Note. Patents which claim a match head composition and also a claim to a base having a single coating of the composition even though the composition of the base is specified with no inclusion of structure other than by name only, e.g., splint, stick, tape, card are classified as original in Class 149, Explosive and Thermic Compositions or Charges, and cross referenced to this class (44). A previously coated base to which the match head composition is applied is considered structure for this class (44).
