DEFINITION

Classification: 49/197

(under the class definition) Device in which a closure is mounted for movement upwardly from a vertical closed position to a horizontal or inclined elevated open position, and in which (1) the mounting means for the closure movement is out of the plane of the frame forming the opening, or (2) the

movement is multidirectional, e.g., overhead doors known as the up-and-over type.

(1) Note. See the search notes below for a reference to the definition of "multidirectional".

(2) Note. A closure which merely pivots about an axis in the plane or on the surface of the closure will be found elsewhere (see search notes below). However, a closure mounted to swing on a bracket or link which is pivoted at the end remote from its connection to the closure and which moves in the manner defined above, is here, e.g., in subclasses 203+.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

126, for a folding closure which moves from a vertical to a horizontal overhead stacked position.

208+, for a closure moving sidewardly from a vertical closed position to an open position by the combination movements there provided for. See subclass 208 for the definition of "multidirectional." 381+, for a closure pivoted about an axis in or on the surface of the closure, and especially subclasses 388+ for a closure pivoted to opposing frame members, and see (2) Note above.
