DEFINITION

Classification: 206/389

(under the class definition) A container or wrapper, for coiled or wound material with or without supporting structure (e.g., core or spool) wherein the coiling or winding, or

unwinding, is disclosed as performed while said material is disassociated from the encompassing container or wrapper.

(1) Note. The material may be (a) relatively wide fabric (e.g., sheeting, wire fencing, batting, floor covering, etc.), (b) narrow band (e.g., tape bandaging, film etc.) (c) attenuated (e.g., strand, tube, wire, cable, etc.) and (d) single or multilayer.

(2) Note. The term "encompassing container or wrapper" includes: (a) a box with or without a lid (b) a bag or envelope (c) a sheet covering-solid, foraminous or articulated (d) a strand, or band, toroid-coiled about the wound material, i.e., transversely through a central axially opening (e) a peripheral band, tube or cylinder with end closures.

(3) Note. The term "disassociated" is used to indicate that there is a destruction (or irreversible modification) of wrapper, package, cover material retainer structure in order to wind or unwind content material. Thus undoing a mere fold, flap or tuck in cover material is not destruction. However, note that subclasses 53, 54 and 55 have been retained in this class (206) though the clamp retainer is not destroyed to wind or unwind content. See search note to Class 242, below.

(4) Note. In (2) and (3) Notes, above, the "container" or "wrapper" or "securement" may be a single unitary member or put together of multiple elements.
