DEFINITION

Classification: 5/630

SUPPORT MEANS FOR DISCRETE PORTION OF USER, USEABLE WITH BED OR SURGICAL SUPPORT:

(under the class definition) Subject matter providing a surface adapted to support only a portion of the total body of a user, said surface adapted to be removably attached to or positioned on a device of the class.

(1) Note. Art in this class requires some structural modification to materials to adapt them for body support. The mere recitation of a support, wherein the novelty resides in a chemical composition for the support, would not suffice for inclusion in this class; it would place the application in the appropriate composition art area.
