DEFINITION

Classification: 156/446

(under subclass 443) Apparatus in which an arbor or a

workpiece is supported or mounted for rotation about an internal axis and means are provided to bend a flexible sheet about the arbor or workpiece during rotation thereof.

(1) Note. In this subclass the rotating of the mandrel or article generally causes the progressive bending of the flexible material about at least a portion of the peripheral surface thereof.

(2) Note. Most of the patents in subclasses 394+ apply a lamina to a rotating mandrel or an article supported thereon in building a tire. The majority of these devices (subclasses 394+) are specialized to tire building and therefore relatively few cross-references have been placed between the groups of subclasses. However in some instances a complete search requires investigation of both groups of subclasses.
