DEFINITION

Classification: 353/40

(under the class definition) Subject matter including a scale or scale indicator together with optical elements arranged to project an image of the scale or scale indicator.

(1) Note. The broad recitation of the scale or indicator actuator does not preclude classification here. However, where the scale actuator is claimed in detail classification is with the art to which the actuator relates. Examples of such are in the Search Notes below. Where the scale is projected in conjunction with the object to be measured, projected or not, classification is in Class 356 Optics: Measuring and Testing, subclasses 391+. The combined recitation of the scale and indicator broadly does not preclude classification here.
