.~.~> Including means for manual manipulation of implement
DEFINITION
Classification: 15/104.93
(under subclass 104) Implement which is hand-manipulable for contact with a work surface for a coating or cleaning operation and which has a work contacting surface portion charged with material.
(1) Note. A patent disclosing nothing more than a mere pad which is impregnated with cleaning material and disclosed as being a stationary device while in use, but which is inherently capable of manual manipulation, will be placed in this subclass.
(2) Note. For placement in this subclass, the combination of
the tool and the charge of material must be claimed. An implement including a tool which is merely adapted to be coated or impregnated with cleaning material will be placed in the appropriate subclass below; e.g., subclass 423 for a pen wiper.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
104.92, for a static cleaning device having a support for a tool and having material supply, to which device the work is brought for the cleaning operation.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 118, Coating Apparatus,
264+, for stationary coating apparatus which includes a porous applicator.
401, Coating Implements With Material Supply,
196+, for a manually manipulated coating device including a porous tool through which material flows for application to a work surface, indented subclass 201 being the locus of a mere porous pad-like applicator which has a pocket to receive a piece of solid coating material which becomes fluidized and permeates the interstices of the applicator when dipped into a liquid prior to the coating operation.
