CLASS 245, WIRE FABRICS AND STRUCTURE

1	MISCELLANEOUS:

	This subclass is indented under the class definition. Miscellaneous wire articles not otherwise classifiable, fabric blanks, panels, or other structural fabric forms adapted to be used in the manufacture of chairs, lounges, carriages, go-carts, napkin rings, or other articles, or to be united to similar blanks for any purpose.

1.5	TIRE-BEAD GROMMETS:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Ring-shaped articles formed for the most part of wire adapted for reenforcing the beads of pneumatic tires and processes of making the same.

(1) Note. For endless bands made by a twisting or twining operation and of general application, see Search Notes below.

3	. Ties and clips:

	This subclass is indented under subclass 2. Wire fabrics having the elements secured together by bending, coiling, or twisting and in which the tie-wires or clips are used for strengthening the joints of the intersecting wires.

4	. Chains:

This subclass is indented under subclass 2. Chain-type fabrics having elements or links substantially alike and interlinked with those adjacent.

5	. Interlocking loops:

This subclass is indented under subclass 2. Fabrics in which the longitudinal or cross wires are bent to form a series of loop elements, generally arranged in rows, which hook into, pass through, interlock, or otherwise engage and hold loops formed in an adjacent row or section.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS:

66,	Textiles: Knitting, subclass 169 and indented subclasses for tying methods.
