(under the class definition) Apparatus in which the material while the compressive force upon it is increasing is carried bodily from an inlet or loading zone to an outlet or
discharge zone.
(1) Note. In the devices here classified the material is moved from one position to another to transport it between openings generally by the platen causing compression or the pressure surface. For devices in which there is movement of the material from one place to another where the movement is incidental to the compressing operation see the Search This Class, Subclass notes below. SEe the Search Notes for a press acutated by the weight of the material between the platens, that is, the material resting on a platen and falling from one location to another causes the movable platen to exert the compressive force. Additionally a movable platen may transport the material into contact with the stationary platen.
(2) Note. The material may be pressed progressively in these presses. That is, successive increments are compressed which may be forced together into one mass or may have a distinct line of demarcation maintained between them.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
41, for methods involving the forcing of material through a constricted passage.
137+, for plural diverse presses one of which presses while conveying the material. 214+, for devices in which there is movement of the material from one place to another where the movement is incidental to the compressing operation search this class, subclasses 214+, particularly see subclass 239, where as the piston advances the box and piston and material all rotate,
218, for reciprocating platen press construction having means for displacing the material from the means which supported the material during the compression operation.
239, and see (1) Note above 265, and see (1) Note above
265+, for a press acutated by the weight of the material between the platens, that is, the material resting on a platen and falling from one location to another causes the movable platen to exert the compressive force. Additionally a movable platen may transport the material into contact with the stationary platen.
