(under the class definition) Device having means for exerting a force on, or transmitting energy to flux or filler material after said material has been applied to the work for the purpose of changing either the quantity, density or configuration of such material.
(1) Note. Placement of patent into this and the indented subclasses requires that the modifying means be a device independent of the fusion-bonding means. Therefore, seam modification accomplished by an applicator that applies flux or filler to the work will be found in the appropriate applicator subclasses, such as 25+, 33+, etc.
(2) Note. Included in this subclass and the indented subclasses are patents claiming a desoldering device not elsewhere classified.
(3) Note. Also included in this subclass (19) are patents directed to means for applying centrifugal force, or to a compressing roller, for modifying the applied material.
