12, Boot and Shoe Making,
38, for dies and formers for shoe sole laying and leveling machines which may be rigid, resilient, inflatable, or deformable (such as a flexible bag full of a liquid).
34, Drying and Gas or Vapor Contact With Solids, 146, for drying devices of the stationary press type having nonplanar press couples.
38, Textiles: Ironing or Smoothing,
25+, for smoothing machines wherein the work is smoothed between platens and it is necessary to move both press platens one of which may be a bag wall, the bag being inflated to exert the pressure.
68, Textiles: Fluid Treating Apparatus,
96, for machines in which a textile is squeezed while subjecting it to a liquid and the squeezing is by a receptacle deformable to effect a squeezing action on the textile, and subclass 242, for wringers for pressing or removing liquid from a material which effect the removal of liquid from textiles by pressure applied to a diaphragm which presses against the textiles.
72, Metal Deforming,
54+, for metal deforming apparatus including a fluent tool means, and, subclasses 382, and 396+, for die-shaping apparatus having a yieldable tool or tool face portion.
144, Woodworking,
256.1, for a machine for bending wood to a desired form by compressing it between formers or dies which may embody an integral convex former and a flexible former, subclasses 263 to 266, for a machine for bending wood about a fixed former which comprises a windlass connected with the ends of a strap which is drawn against the wood and forces it against the former, and, subclass 268, for a machine for bending wood which comprises a revolving former to which one end of the wood to be bent is secured and which, as the former is rotated, draws the wood closely therearound and employing a flexible apron which presses the wood firmly against the cylinder or former.
162, Paper Making and Fiber Liberation,
401+, for pulp molding devices having a pressing diaphragm composed of elastic material. 222, Dispensing,
214, for resilient wall dispensers having wall deflecting means and subclass 386.5 for dispensing containers with a nonrigid follower discharge assistant.
