DEFINITION

Classification: 234/79

(under subclass 59) Device provided with mechanism to impart progressive relative movement between the pattern and said sensing means between successive sensing operations.

(1) Note. Feed* means is to be distinguished from means which merely initially presents the pattern to the sensers, or vice versa. In the majority of pattern-controlled selective cutting machines, the pattern is advanced continuously or intermittently during successive sensing and cutting or punching cycles.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

19, for programmed means to alter the feed of a pattern.

27, and 29, for randomly-actuated control of pattern feed.

66, for a machine having serial read-out to the tool selectors from a full bank of sensers (as an alternative to pattern feed means).

75, for means to effect relative movement between pattern and sensers during the sensing operation.
