DEFINITION

Classification: 134/84

(under the class definition) Apparatus having any one or any combination of the following features: (1) two or more fluid holding receptacles or chambers, each of which is for the fluid treating of work and in which the plural chambers may be formed by partitions in a larger chamber; (2) two or more

fluid treating stations with means to selectively deliver fluids to one at a time, or to less than all at a time; (3) a liquid applying receptacle or station and a second receptacle or station for drying, draining, or the application of vapors or gases, and under (1) to (3) the work itself being manually transferred from one station to another, as distinguished from moving a work holder from one place to another.

(1) Note. Single or plural means to apply fluids to a plurality of parts of the same work or to a plurality of work pieces, where such fluid applying means are grouped together to form a single station (with or without plural separately movable work supports) will not cause classification in this or the indented subclasses, but are in appropriate following subclasses. There must be, in addition, one or more of the features above set forth.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

61+, for plural work treating receptacles or stations having, in addition, means to transfer the work from one to another.

135, for combinations involving a liquid holding tank, a work holder used therein, the work holder being movable to a position other than the position it has during liquid contact operations, with means for holding the same in such position.

137+, for apparatus having a single work station and means to movably mount the work or work support, even though the device is organized to move the work away from the liquid applying means to permit the same to drain, there being no station distinct from the liquid applying station having features specialized to care for the drainage.
