DEFINITION

Classification: 114/230.24

And line biasing means:

(under subclass 230.2) Subject matter also including means for applying a tensioning force to the flaccid member.

(1) Note. Many of the documents classified herein include an idler pulley for changing the direction of the path of travel of the flaccid member, but the pulley is not turned about its center by a source of power and does not apply a pulling force to the flaccid member by engagement of the flaccid member with the perimeter of the pulley and therefore the pulley by itself is not a biasing means.
