DEFINITION

Classification: 359/522

Rotating:

(under subclass 520) Subject matter wherein the reflector movement is rotational about some axis.

(1) Note. This includes reflectors that are rotated by the gases expelled from the exhaust pipe of a vehicle.

(2) Note. The structure of signs with the nominal recitation of a signal reflector are classified in Class 40. In particular, an "indicia" design or the conveyance of specific information would be classifiable in Class 40.
