DEFINITION

Classification: 172/5

(under subclass 2) Apparatus wherein the condition sensed is the location of an obstruction or plant.

(1) Note. A stake or other object which has been previously placed in position for the purpose of controlling an earth working implement which is intended to approach such object is not considered to be an obstruction within this definition since its sensing is not considered to be a condition which may or may not occur. See search notes below for such apparatus.
