DEFINITION
Classification: 140/3
Miscellaneous fabric-making inventions not classifiable in
the subclasses hereunder. Wire-fabric making devices classifiable in this class are divided into two main groups, including, respectively, looms or stationary machines and portable or field machines. Each of these groups is redivided into other groups, including, respectively, devices for making a mesh fabric in which continuous wire or wires are interwoven or united with the warp wires and devices in which the completed fabric shows separate cross wires or stays. Devices of the latter type are classifiable under the stay-applying group defined below.
(1) Note. Inventions in wire-fabric making classifiable in this class are characterized by working in the wires by twisting, coiling, or by some bending operation which is not characteristic or usual in the ordinary weaving machines that operate upon cotton, wool, silk, etc.
