DEFINITION

Classification: 12/17

(under the class definition) Machines for operating on those members which form the plantar support for the foot of the wearer, either loose, or attached to other shoe parts.

(1) Note. The line between this subclass and Class 112, Sewing, is as follows: This subclass includes sewing

operations broadly or nominally recited combined with a bodily moved work support as defined in Class 12 (this class), subclass 17.2, whereas Class 112, subclasses 29 to 40, take sewing machines generally for fastening sole parts together or soles to other shoe parts.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

16.1+, for machines employed in providing a heel breast with a covering forming a portion of the sole of the shoe.

70+, for sole burnishing machines.

79.5, for sole wax polishing machines. 85+, for sole edge trimming machines.

112, Sewing,

29, 40 for shoe sole sewing machines generally and see this class (12), subclasses 17+, (2) Note, for the line.

227, Elongated-Member-Driving Apparatus, appropriate subclasses for machines for merely nailing sole parts together and/or for nailing soles to other shoe parts.
