DEFINITION
Classification: 100/229
(under subclass 214) Apparatus in which a material receiving pressure surface having side walls to form a chamber or a pressure surface which does not move during the compacting operation are movable to a nonuse position transversely of the direction of application of the compacting force or of the line of approach movement of the compressing surfaces.
(1) Note. The material receiving pressure surface is not
actuated during the compression operation but moves transversely of the direction of compressing motion in order for the patent to be classified in this subclass.
(2) Note. In the devices here classified the box bottom and frame must move as an entirety. For devices in which the box bottom or the box frame moves separately search this class, subclasses 246+.
(3) Note. The displacement of the box to nonuse position is generally for the purpose of placing material upon the box or platen. Where means are provided for moving the material into such loaded condition of the box see this class, subclass 215.
(4) Note. This subclass includes compression of material within a box, barrel or bag or other portable receptacle where there is no lid applied or where the material to be compressed is not carried from outside the receptacle to position within the receptacle. Where the compression within the receptacle. Where the compression within the receptacle is by means of a lid for the receptacle search this class, subclasses 54+. Where material is carried from without the receptacle to position within it search Class 141, appropriate subclasses. The inclusion of a funnel or loading device directing or guiding the material into the container renders the device one for Class 141. Note particularly Class 141, subclasses 71+, for compacting material within the receptacle during filling.
(5) Note. This subclass includes compacting of material within portable receptacles by a reciprocating platen. Auger or revolving screw devices for the purpose of compacting material within the receptacle having been deemed filling devices for Class 141 as they transport material from outside the receptacle to a position within it.
