DEFINITION

Classification: 222/92

(under the class definition) Dispensing devices in which one or more walls of the material container are made of nonresilient material which will deform (collapse) when pressure is applied thereto and will not return to its initial position.

(1) Note. Where characteristics of the collapsible wall or characteristics, of other parts of the combination which are present because of the collapsible wall are not claimed, the patent is not in this or the indented subclasses, but in the subclasses following this group, even though the container is broadly identified in the claims as a collapsible wall type.

(2) Note. This group of subclasses takes patents wherein the outer walls are collapsible as defined in the subclass definition. Internal collapsible members (as followers) are not included.

(3) Note. Tube deflating means comprising force exertive means applied to the exterior portions of the tube are here included as collapsible wall type receptacles.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

206+, for resilient wall type dispensers, even though the actual wall structure is collapsible if means for returning the wall structure to its initial position is provided. 386.5, for collapsible wall followers. See (2) note.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

29, Metal Working,

17.1+, for sheet metal and foil manufacturing; and subclasses 400.1+ for miscellaneous processes of making hollow articles.

72, Metal Deforming, appropriate subclasses for a method or machine for making a metal tube or cup from a single-piece blank, particularly

267, for "impact extrusion" and subclasses 347+ for "deep drawing".

92, Expansible Chamber Devices,

89+, for collapsible wall expansible chamber devices.

138, Pipes and Tubular Conduits, appropriate subclasses for mere tubular conduit structures not disclosed as dispensing containers and not involving any other dispensing features. For a statement of the line, see the reference to Class 222 in the Search Class note to the class definition of Class 138.

239, Fluid Sprinkling, Spraying, and Diffusing,

327, and 328 for a sprinkling or spraying device comprising a supply holder with resilient or collapsible walls.

141, Fluent Material Handling, With Receiver or Receiver Coacting Means, 65, for tube deflation accomplished by drawing a vacuum on the interior of the tube to deflate same where other necessary characteristics of Class 141 are present.

220, Receptacles, appropriate subclasses for collapsible container subcombinations, per se, not involving characteristics of the collapsible walls and not involving other dispensing features. See (1) Note to the definition of this subclass, above.

221, Article Dispensing,

64, for article dispensers having flexible supply container walls and in subclass 65 for such dispensers having collapsible or telescoping supply container wall structure.

229, Envelopes, Wrappers, and Paperboard Boxes, for paper container subcombinations not involving characteristics of collapsible walls and not involving dispensing features at present classified in Class 229. Certain subclasses (such as

7, and 17) of Class 229 contain dispensers and structures of the nature of the types now retained in that class (229) are classified in those subclasses.

264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Processes, appropriate subclasses for processes of molding or shaping plastic materials, within the class definitions, to produce collapsible wall tubes. For specific subclasses pertaining to production of hollow articles, see

150, 171.26+ 209.1+, 267+, 312, 512+, and 523+.

401, Coating Implements With Material Supply, appropriate subclasses, for an implement comprising a collapsible wall type reservoir in combination with a coating tool; and see (4) Note to the definition of

143, of that class (401).

417, Pumps, appropriate subclasses for collapsible wall type pumps. 418, Rotary Expansible Chamber Devices,

45, for a rotary expansible chamber device having a collapsible progressively deformed working chamber wall.

493, Manufacturing Container or Tube From Paper; or Other Manufacturing From a Sheet or Web,

269+, for making a tube from a sheet or web.
