DEFINITION

Classification: 118/211

(under subclass 209) Coating apparatus including means which applies the coating in definite configurations forming restricted areas for special purposes.

(1) Note. Apparatus using applicators having roughened, grooved, stippled or other irregular surfaces where the purpose is not primarily to apply the coating in definite patterns or areas, but merely to allow the applicator to retain more coating material, to cause better feed of the work, or to coat the work in spots which are indiscriminately applied and not definitely located for special purposes, are excluded. Such devices are classified in the appropriate subclasses where the type apparatus is classified.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 101, Printing, appropriate subclasses for means adapted to produce characters for designs on surfaces by impression of types or dies or by employing coating material thereto through openings of previous portions of a pattern sheet, as in stenciling or by impression from planos:graphic or intaglio surfaces.

427, Coating Processes,

256+, for coating processes wherein a nonuniform coating is obtained.
