CPC Definition - Subclass A47B
This place covers:
This sub-class relates largely to office and domestic furniture. Some industrial furniture is included in the sub-groups relating to cabinets, racks and shelf-units. This subclass covers : Tables or desks characterised by structural features
Tables or desks characterised by adaptation for particular purposes
School benches or desks
Cabinet; racks; shelf units; similar furniture
Furniture combinations
Details of furniture: -
Drawers and slides therefore
- Feet for furniture
- Fittings for furniture
- Details of cabinets, racks or shelf units (bars,uprights,struts,shelves brackets,furniture panels)
- Miscellaneous furniture and miscellaneous accessories for furniture
Furniture classification is separated into 2 broad fields:
- furniture type e.g. bottle rack or sectional furniture etc.
- functional furniture e.g. folding tables or height adjustable shelves.
Classification may be necessary in both the furniture type(s) and functional furniture fields.
The drawings in the definition statements are only indicative as an example of the group or sub-group definition and encompass ofcourse many other embodiments
Generally this sub-class does not cover transport devices or systems as covered in B65G or specific furniture, fittings or accessories for shops as covered in A47F, although it is clear that certain subject matter is common to these sub-classes.
It is clear that certain items of furniture (e.g. brackets, rails) may be classified in many different sub-classes of differing technical areas, however, the following general rules should be applied:
For components of furniture covered by specific subclasses e.g. A47F - shop furniture; E06B - doors:
If relevant for their structural and/or functional association with the furniture item, are classified in A47B.
If relevant only per se are not classified in A47B, but in the specific subclass of the item concerned.

Classification in head group and sub-groups
If a document concerns embodiments which are covered by several sub-groups (e.g. A47B 1/02 and A47B 1/10) dependent upon a higher hierarchy group e.g.head group A47B 1/00, the following rules apply:
- the specific technical information relevant for some of the sub-groups is classified (EC) in all said sub-groups.
- if relevant, the structural association (e.g. the combination) of the elements covered by the sub-groups is classified (EC) in the head group; the document may also be Indexing Code for the sub-groups concerned.
- analogously, if generic technical information common to a number of the sub-groups is disclosed and only schematic embodiments of the specific subgroup embodiments are represented, the document is classified (EC) in the head group and may be Indexing Code for the subgroups.
Classification of additional information:
Although not compulsory, in many cases the classification of additional information (e.g. particular technical aspect of a piece of furniture) may be useful in classification and subsequent retrieval of such documents and is therefore considered very desirable.
-The reference to tables or desks in this sub-class and particularly in the sub-groups A47B 13/00, A47B 19/00, A47B 21/00, A47B 27/00 and A47B 41/00 isn't relevant per se. Dependent upon the nature of the context, these terms may be considered to be synonymous. Furthermore, the term 'tables' covers also tables OR underframes therefor for other than domestic use.
For the sub-groups concerning technical features of tables and desks (i.e. A47B 1/00 - A47B 41/06) it is noted that the technical features of the sub-groups themselves are defining rather than, in some cases, their terms of description.
The terms 'cabinets' or 'racks' in the sub-groups A47B 43/00 - A47B 96/20 cover also cabinets or racks for storage in general.
