DEFINITION

Classification: 473/589

Ring-shaped (e.g., deck-tennis quoit, etc.):

(under subclass 588) Subject matter wherein the body has a relatively large, interiorly located aperture extending entirely through the body from top to bottom when it is positioned horizontally.

(1) Note. Although most rings have an annular configuration, it is not necessary that they be so configured. For example, a body having a triangularly shaped outer periphery and a relatively large aperture passing therethrough which is centrally located and circularly shaped is considered to be a ring proper for this subclass. Also, the geometric center of the relatively large aperture need not coincide with the geometric center of the body as a whole.
