DEFINITION

Classification: 156/60

(under subclass 1) Processes involving bonding or joining discrete juxtaposed lamina or spaced juxtaposed areas of a single lamina by adherence or coherence at the interface of the juxtaposed areas.

(1) Note. The adherence is usually accomplished by application of an adhesive composition to one or both parts and the coherence by rendering the one or both parts tacky, usually by solvent, heat, externally applied or the residual heat retained by the part from a previous operation.

(2) Note. The term "adhesive" is that body of material which adheres to each of the parts being secured and which has no structural or functional characteristic other than to facilitate or effect joiner of the parts.

(3) Note. This and the indented subclasses include patents which claim only assembly of parts previously coated with adhesive. See sections "A. Bonding And/Or Assembly Therefor" and "B. Laminating Combined With Other Operations" of the class definition of this class for the lines with other classes.

(4) Note. Processes of adhesively uniting together at least two lamina which (1) do not define by name the adhesive employed and (2) do not define a manipulative procedure of uniting provided for below are classified herein. In this subclass may be found, for example, patents distinguished only by the composition of the particular laminae joined.
