DEFINITION

Classification: 482/92

USER MANIPULATED FORCE RESISTING APPARATUS, COMPONENT THEREOF, OR ACCESSORY THEREFOR:

(under the class definition) Subject matter (a) wherein the human user maneuvers pressure opposing structure by exerting an operating pressure thereupon to facilitate conditioning or developing of a muscle or (b) consisting of an essential part of, or adjunct used with, such pressure opposing structure.

(1) Note. A component of a force resisting apparatus or an accessory used with an unclaimed or nominally claimed force resisting apparatus is classified with the particular type of force resisting apparatus disclosed unless specifically provided for elsewhere hereunder.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

93+, for a belt or harness disclosed for use when lifting a weight, particularly subclass 106 if disclosed for use when lifting a barbell.

133+, for a frame which supports both the user and force resisting apparatus while force exerted by the user is transmitted through the frame and wherein details of the force resistance apparatus are not claimed.

139, for a user interface element wherein details of the force resistance apparatus are not claimed.
