(under the class definition) Device having means to change the shape of a portion of a member at a point distant from a workpiece after initiation of work penetration by such member, said portion being spaced from the work both before and after the change in shape is effected.
(1) Note. Means to cut a driven member is not proper subject matter for this subclass.
(2) Note. Any deformation of a driven member which increases the size, and/or alters the form, of the cross-section of an end portion is provided for in preceding subclasses 51+.
(3) Note. Figure 4 illustrates a member driven into work and a portion of the member (i.e., hook) deformed at a point from the work surface by apparatus typical of this subclass.
(4) Note. This subclass will include patents which disclose an additional workpiece in substantial contact with the shaped portion of the member other than a workpiece into which the member is driven. [figure] [caption]Fig. 4
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS: 51+, for means to head a driven member, and see (2) Note, above.
79+, for means to cut a driven member after the member is driven.
