DEFINITION

Classification: 59/78.1

Chains, generally used for supporting chandeliers or the like, in which the links are provided with grooves, openings, or passageways for receiving electric conductors or for providing a conduit for gas or other fluid. The chain may be provided with end fittings such as nipples, hooks, eyes, etc., for attaching the chain to a fixed object or for attaching an article to the chain. The mere recital, broadly, in the claims of electric conductors does not operate to exclude a patent which would otherwise be classified herein.

(1) Note. For sectional conduits made up of sections which do not constitute "chain" links, see Class 138, Pipes and Tubular Conduits, subclass 120 for a pipe made up of jointed sections which do not constitute "chain" links.

(2) Note. For chandelier supports in general, see Class 248, Supports, subclasses 317+ and Notes thereto.
