DEFINITION

Classification: 156/196

(under subclass 60) Processes combined with a step of (1)

distorting a workpiece by bending to alter its shape, (2) changing the gross over-all shape of a self-sustaining workpiece by a deforming operation or (3) altering the surface configuration only of a workpiece by raising bosses or protuberances thereon or causing surface portions to be depressed below the plane of the work surface.

(1) Note. The reshaping to a different configuration of a self-supporting workpiece may be by stretch-forming or by a drawing operation.

(2) Note. Stretching is not considered a reshaping operation for the purposes of this subclass, nor is cutting considered to be a deforming operation. See appropriate subclasses below for this art.

(3) Note. For a definition of "bending" as used in the above definition see the term as defined in the glossary of the class definition.
