DEFINITION

Classification: 428/606

(under subclass 544) Subject matter consisting of flexible material having a claimed entire dimension of 6 mils (0.006 inches; 0.01524 cm; 152.4 micron; 152,400 angstroms) or less, or greater gauge than 34. Reference: Metals Handbook, 8th Edition, Volume 1 (1961), page 18.

(1) Note. An article or material defined as a metal foil, leaf or film, without any numerical reference to its thickness is placed in these subclasses (606+).

(2) Note. A patent is not placed in this subclass because of a mere component which meets the definition of the subclass.

(3) Note. See the main class definition of this class (428), section VI, C, 2, a, for loci of other subject matter relating to filaments.
