(under subclass 1) Processes directed to separating at least one adhered layer or portion thereof from another layer at their bonding faces, per se, in which the layer retains its identity during separation.
(1) Note. Processes for the separation of laminae in which a lamina is destroyed are generally classified in that class which provides for the operation, per se. Thus, for example, destroying a lamina by abrading will be found in Class 451 Abrading; by cutting, in Class 83, Cutting, appropriate subclasses, etc..
