.~ With means to shift girt with respect to festoon and conveyer
DEFINITION
Classification: 226/105
(under subclass 104) Device provided with means to rotate or pivot the loop-supporting girt about the axis of the girt or about a line parallel to said axis, whereby the girt will contact another portion of the loop and have another orientation in relation to the girt-translating means.
(1) Note. The usual disclosed purpose of a device provided with such girt shifting means is to present all portions of the supported material to drying air. If a patent claims a source of drying air, such patent will be placed in Class 34 (see Lines With Other Classes, Relationship to Material-Modifying Classes Which Include Feeding of Indeterminate-Length* Work, of this publication).
(2) Note. The shifting herein described is the only other exception to the restriction (in the definition of subclass 104) that the material has no movement relative to the girt during translatory movement thereof.
