(under subclass 70) Apparatus in which the means to subject the material to additional treatment includes means to sever or rupture the material into parts.
(1) Note. Breaking or crushing up material due to compaction between surfaces is inherent in nearly all presses. The devices here classified have comminuting, breaking, cutting, piercing by some means in addition to the pressing surfaces to effect these operations upon the material pressed.
(2) Note. The devices here classified do not include those in which piercing points are employed for antifriction purposes, as, for example, for preventing slippage of the material on the platen during compression. Not included also are pronged gates for arresting movement of the material in feeding as any piercing of the material by the prongs is merely incidental and not a significant treatment of the material.
