Definition

This is the residual class of receptacles comprised of a peripheral wall with at least one closed end, and having an access opening which may be an open end of the receptacles, or which may be provided in the peripheral wall or closed end of the receptacle. Receptacles of this class type must function, by disclosure, to hold contents which in turn are to be eventually removed from the receptacle. This is also the residual locus for closures for receptacles. This is also the residual locus for attachments for receptacles.

Lines with other classes and within this class

Some specific art structures remain in this class which do not function by disclosure to hold contents which in turn are to be eventually removed from the receptacle; particularly those in subclasses 2.1+, subclasses 3.2+, and some electrical and sectional housings.

Designs for receptacles are in the design classes. See References to Other Classes, below.

For other receptacles, see References to Other Classes, below.

See the Notes to subclasses 2.1+ of this class (220) for the distinction between the envelopes, boxes, and housings for electric lamps, discharge devices, and similar devices in Class 174 and those in other classes, and the Notes to subclasses 3.2+ of this class (220) for the distinction between the boxes and housings for electrical devices in Class 174, and those in other classes.

See the Notes to subclasses 2.1+ of this class (220) for the distinction between the envelopes, boxes and housings for electric lamp and discharge devices which are in Class 313 and those in other classes.
