DEFINITION

Classification: 473/501

Breakaway:

(under subclass 499) Subject matter comprising means for normally anchoring the base fixedly to the playing field, which anchoring means includes means to permit the base to pivot, rotate, or slide relative to, or separate from, the anchoring means in response to forces exerted against the base for mitigating potential damage to the base or injury to a player.

(1) Note. The main body of the base as a whole must move relative to the anchoring means. A base main body which is constructed of a yieldable material so as to deform in response to forces exerted against it but which does not move as a whole relative to the anchoring means will be found in the outdent subclass as indicated in the Search note below.

499, for a base main body which is constructed of a yieldable

material so as to deform in response to forces exerted against it but which does not move as a whole relative to the anchoring means.
