SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

This class is a specific class under the broader class of Amusement and Exercising Devices, and includes patents relating to devices of the type whose principal purpose is for the amusement or recreation of children, wherein there is some physical interaction between a person and the device.

(1) Note. Some devices, although referred to as toys, are classified in other classes on the basis of analogous structure or function. Also, working models or toys which would be operable devices if made of sufficient size, are generally classified with the operable device. See the search notes below.
(2) Note. This class provides for toys combined with or convertible from other devices.

SECTION II - REFERENCES TO OTHER CLASSES

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS:

40, Card, Picture, or Sign Exhibiting,   appropriate subclasses for display devices, changeable exhibitors, etc., for attracting and holding the attention of a child or other person, but not intended for physical interaction between the device and viewer.
42, Firearms,   subclasses 54+ for detonating toy firearms such as cap pistols.

Class 446 takes toy railways wherein the energy for moving the rolling stock is supplied by the child, such as a wind-up toy, or where a feature peculiar to Class 446 is claimed, such as a toy building or accessory, or an animate simulation. Toy combinations including road surfaces without structure for engaging and physically guiding a vehicle are classified in Class 446 rather than Class 104.
