DEFINITION

Classification: 473/553

Accessory for use with racket or paddle (e.g., used with or for tennis racket, etc.):

(under subclass 524) Subject matter comprising an ancillary device adapted and intended to be used with or for a racket or paddle not elsewhere provided for.

(1) Note. An ancillary device, unless it is classifiable elsewhere, considered proper for these subclasses is defined as (a) any device intended to be attached to, carried by, or associated with a racket or paddle when it is being used for its function of striking a projectile, which device is not capable of either enabling or enhancing the racket or paddle's primary function as an implement for striking a projectile (e.g., a score keeping device or radio attached to a tennis racket, etc.), (b) any device intended to assemble, assist in the assembly of, maintain, or protect a racket or paddle when it is not being used for its function of striking a projectile (e.g., a tennis racket press, stringing device, etc.), or (c) any device intended to be attached to or carried by a racket or paddle when it is not being used for

its function of striking a projectile (e.g., a ball carrier attachable to a table tennis paddle, etc.).
