DEFINITION

Classification: 359/516

Body carried:

(under subclass 515) Subject matter including apparatus to enable a user (human or animal) to carry the reflector.

(1) Note. A reflector carried by the hand or wrist but not worn by the user, belongs in this subclass, rather than subclass 517.

(2) Note. The combination of either a flashlight or a cane with an attached reflector, which is normally carried by the hand, belongs in this subclass.

(3) Note. The combination of an article of clothing and a signal reflector belongs in this subclass not with the apparel of Class 2, since the combination only belongs in Class 2, if not otherwise classifiable.

(4) Note. The combination of an animal collar (i.e., nominal recitation of a collar or harness) together with a signal reflector is classified with the signal reflector not the collar of Class 119, subclass while a reflector claimed in combination with more than a nominal collar is classified in Class 119, subclass 858.
