DEFINITION

Classification: 5/690

MATTRESS (FOR WHOLE BODY):

(under the class definition) Subject matter comprising a pad which is generally adapted to be removably placed upon an underlying support, such as a bedstead, frame, or a boxspring, and is of a size sufficient to underlie and support substantially the whole of a person's body, the purpose of which is to make the person more comfortable while resting.

(1) Note. A device in this subclass is intended to be used with an underlying support, but does not include the underlying support and could be used without it.

(2) 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.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

400+, for a bottom either with or without a mattress or cushion.

420, for a pad intended to lie directly on the ground or floor.

630+, for supports for discreet portion(s) of a user's body, useable with a bed or surgical support. 652+, for supports for user's body or parts thereof, such as subclasses 653+ for cushions specially adapted to be seated on or subclass 655 for supports especially adapted for infants.

665, for waterbeds and associated devices.

689, for fluidized beds and associated devices.

902, for mattresses with a nonrectangular supporting surface.

948+, for filler materials used in body supports.
