DEFINITION

Classification: 28/165

(under subclass 140) Method or apparatus wherein (a) a thread interlaced textile structure of indeterminate length, made in a manner provided for in some other textile manufacturing class, is conditioned in a manner not specifically provided for in said class, or (b) a thread interlaced textile structure of indeterminate length or some component member thereof is conditioned in a manner not elsewhere provided for.

(1) Note. The conditioning can occur prior to or subsequent to the interlacing step. Thus, for example, a patent claiming treating a thread of a woven product prior to the weaving operation in a manner not provided for in Class 139 would be placed in this class (28).
