.~.~ Deflecting material into coil (e.g., coreless coiling)
DEFINITION
Classification: 242/535.1
Deflecting material into coil (e.g., coreless coiling):
(under subclass 535) Subject matter wherein the material advancing mechanism acts further to either: (a) simultaneously bend the material about a coiling axis as the material is being advanced, or (b) advance the elongated material toward an associated device that so bends the material.
(1) Note. This subclass collects documents that curl the elongated material into a coil rather than draw the material tightly about a spindle by turning the spindle or orbital wrapping guide.
