DEFINITION

Classification: 101/3.1

EMBOSSING OR PENETRATING:

(under the class definition) Means for producing characters or designs on surfaces by dies adapted to deform or remove portions of the material.

(1) Note. Since many printing mechanisms can inherently deform the material being printed upon, organized machines, even though called "embossing machines", are placed below in appropriate coordinate subclasses, except that recitation of specific mechanism particularly designed to deform the material, will cause classification in this and indented subclasses, e.g., conforming punch and die structure.

(2) Note. See the class definition, lines with other classes and within this class for the line between this class (101) and the Cutting class.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

401.2, 401.4, 401.5, and 401.6, for means for swaging characters into metal and involving more than simple pressure, such as would be applicable to any material.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

83, Cutting, appropriate subclasses for machines having die members with perforating-points adapted to pass entirely through the material for producing designs other than characters. Also see Lines With Other Classes and Within this Class of the Class 101 Class Definition. 162, Paper Making and Fiber Liberation, appropriate subclasses for processes and apparatus for shaping wet fibrous sheets by patterned dies.

234, Selective Cutting (e.g., Punching), appropriate subclasses for a machine having a gang of separately movable punches so mounted and connected that any desired combination thereof may be depressed to produce a design or an array of coded perforations.

400, Typewriting Machines,

127+, and 135+ for machines in which each die is impressed separately, with means to feed the work to position for the next impression.
