.~.~ Including stripper to separate lead-end from package
DEFINITION
Classification: 225/69
(under subclass 67) Devices which include a guide element lying in close contact with the peripheral surface of the supply roll so as to engage under and deflect the lead-end edge portion of the work away from the surface.
(1) Note. Devices which are manually threaded so as to
continuously deflect the outermost layer of the wound package to form a running length are not considered to be "strippers" for this subclass but are merely guides; see, for example, subclasses 54 and 88.
