DEFINITION

Classification: 134/16

(under the class definition) Processes in which the work undergoing treatment is so operated upon during the treatment as to have at least a momentary change in shape (other than by mere removal of material therefrom or addition of material thereto) to facilitate or improve the cleaning or liquid contact operation.

(1) Note. The change of shape may be due to shaking, mechanical hammering, or vibrating, bending, crushing, or pressing the work, or by the operations provided for in the indented subclass, and maybe due to action of feeding or moving the work.

(2) Note. The various classes for manufacturing of articles by a plastic shaping operation, as by molding, drawing, rolling, bending, etc., should be consulted. This class does not take distorting or deforming for the purpose of manufacturing, but only for purpose of perfecting the cleaning or liquid contact operation.
