.~.~> Upon detection of machine defect or misoperation {1}
DEFINITION
Classification: 234/30
(under subclass 22) Device wherein said control-imposing means operates by bringing any or all of the moving parts of the device to a halt or by terminating an auxiliary-operation (e.g., tool actuation).
(1) Note. It is not a bar to original placement of a patent in this subclass, that the claimed power train disrupting, breaking, or other "stopping" means may be activated at a time when the part to be halted is, purely adventitiously, at a standstill due to its normal cyclic operation.
(2) Note. Patents in this subclass (30) may claim the combination, in a selective cutting device, of stopping means initiated by sensing the absence of work or pattern, or sensing misplaced or defective work, etc., wherein the occurrence of such condition, as disclosed, is not by reason of defect or malfunction of the device, for which latter condition, see subclass indented hereunder.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
22, for random control which may include, but is not limited to stopping (e.g., means to start a machine upon presentation of work or pattern which may be combined with means to stop the machine upon withdrawal of work or pattern).
