in connection with the use of such firm name or title between the qualifications of those members of the firm who are members of the Bar, and those who are not. 12. It is unprofessional for a member of the Bar, or a person admitted to practice before the Patent Office, in any manner to lend his services or the privileges he enjoys as such, to any corporation, or layman, or group of laymen, who solicit legal business from the public, or hold themselves out as equipped to perform or to obtain the performance of, any legal services or any services requiring in their conduct a member of the Bar, or a person admitted to practice before the Patent Office. Association with Disbarred Attorney. 13. Professional association with any disbarred or discredited attorney in such a way as in any manner to avoid, relieve or abate the effect of his disbarment or discredit, or confer upon him any benefits or emoluments derived from such professional association, is condemned. Enlisting the Services of Officials. 14. It is unprofessional in any manner to use the name or solicit the services of any member of either House of Congress or of any other officer of the Government as an aid to procuring business or prosecuting cases, and clients should be discouraged from seeking such aid. Ex-Officials of the Patent Office. 15. It is unethical for any one, who has served in the Patent Office, to prosecute, directly or indirectly, applications having subject matter which to his knowledge will conflict with other unissued applications concerning which, during his employment in the Office, he has obtained confidential information. Splitting Fees. 16. When patent, trade-mark or copyright matters are referred to specialists in these fields by lawyers in general practice, there should be no division of the specialists' fees with the general practitioner. BEDS (Continued). III. To formulate a precise separative definition of the term "Bed" as used in the art, especially to distinguish it from the term chair, is difficult, though the difficulty will be appreciated only by those familiar with the arts of Classes 5 and 155 who are aware by what minute changes forms of one pass into forms of the other through such types as the sofa, the day bed, the convertible chair and the invalid bed. At one time it appeared that the Board of Examiners-in-Chief, when they decided that a hammock (Class 5) was not analogous to a swing (Class 155), were well on their way toward "onscrewing the onscrutable", as one who after a thorough examination of the patents in these two subdivisions could sharply demarcate between them would undoubtedly possess the key to a satisfactory and convincing differentiation between beds and chairs. But this is now long since. Nothing further along this line has been pronounced and the progress of these two arts has now brought them so close together that in some cases, at least, the distinction, if ever clear, is now completely obfuscated. Fortunately the question as far as concerns the search may be considered academic and while an uneasy conscience has often compelled the examiner of beds to complete the search in chairs the result has usually determined the effort to be one of supererogation. Practically, chairs will be distinguished by ready portability and their adaptation in normal form to the sitting posture; beds, by their adaptation to the prone position, heavier structure, the possession of high head and footboards and by the possession of such upholstering or stuffed surfacing as is readily removable or intended to be concealed by bed-clothing. Cribs, which are classified under beds, offer a further difficulty in that in some forms they are nothing more than a folding crate or basket, and without any difference of form, structure, or material, would be examinable in Division 40, if called "An Improvement in Crates", and in Div. 8 if called "An Improvement in Cribs". The difference here is clear but the distinction is obscure and, in view of the well known decision that "there is no combination between the container and the thing contained", we may best pass lightly on without speculation as to the result of pushing this pronouncement to a rigid conclusion. The present classification of beds, which became official December 8, 1922, by Order 2794, follows in the main the outline of the previous classification. One of the main objects of classification being to enable the searcher to find things, it was thought desirable not to attempt at that time a reclassification so thoroughly logical and explosive as to rob the searcher at one fell swoop of all his acquired knowledge of the art. Some of the old landmark terms, such as "Wardrobe Beds" had to go as having long ceased to have any structural significance, implying a long exhausted combination of bed and wardrobe, but the beds and the wardrobes are still to be found in their appropriate places in Class 5. The class "Beds" includes practically everything pertaining to beds with the exception that anything which falls in a well recognized class, but is simply attached to a bed by a clamp or the like, is to be sought in that latter class; for example, a small reading or supply table at tachable to a bed is to be searched in Book and Music Holders, 45. The class then includes, besides bedsteads and all the members of the tribe, such as cots, campbeds, hammocks and hammock supports, cribs and cradles, the further entities of bed bottoms of springs, etc., mattresses, pillows, bed clothing, sleeping bags, ground mats, special attachments, and certain mosquito nets and canopies. The main subdivisions of the class are as follows: A. Combination Furniture B. Table Beds C. Nested, Twin and Stacked D. Berths and Bunks E. Window, Floor, Ceiling and Room-to-room G. Sofa Beds H. Invalid Beds. I. Cribs J. Cradles K. Cots L. Camp Beds M. Vehicle Attached N. Hammocks and Hammock Supports O. Bedsteads Three-part Folding P. Bed Bottoms Fabric Fabric and Springs Slats and Springs Q. Bedstead Elements Corner Fastenings Legs R. Attachments and Accessories S. Bed Clothing U. Sleeping Bags W. Mattresses Spring X. Mosquito Nets and Canopies (A.) Combination Furniture, 5-2, consists of unitary articles containing a bed, usually of folding type, and some other article of furniture, such as a book-case, a wardrobe, a desk, etc. This is exclusive of table-beds. Where there is merely a case to receive an attached bed (usually upending) the search is in 5-159 to 5-161. Where there is simply a receiving space in which a bed may be run when not wanted the search is in 5-324, for example, when a bed is simply run into a space under a sofa. The beds themselves of these patents have been crossreferenced under the appropriate subclass. Beds which may be converted by manipulation of parts to some other article are not included in this subclass. Receptacles, such as trunks, suitcases and valises which may be converted to beds are examinable in Division 40 in case there is room inside the baggage for other articles besides the bed itself. (B.) Table beds, 5-3 to 5-7, are tables which by manipulation of parts may be converted to beds or which serves as a receptacle for a bed; in 5-7 the table-top usu ally swings backward to vertical position forming a sofa back and uncovering a bed. Where a small table is formed as some convertible part of a bedstead or sofa or is stored in some part of the bed framework the search is in 5-332, but when the table is merely attached to the bed without any substantial modification of the latter the search is in 45-58 and 45-82. (C.) Nested Beds, 5-8, are those which for compact |
