DEFINITION

Classification: 29/426.1

Disassembling:

(under subclass 592) Process comprising disconnecting disassociating, disintegrating, or otherwise removing (1) one or more parts in a final relationship of parts, or (2) parts or articles existing in an unintended or unexpected association.

(1) Note. This subclass excludes the mere separation of a tool from the work (such as retracting a drill from a bored hole) or removing a completed assembly or subassembly from a fixture and is therefor generally limited to the disassembly of component parts of an article or subassembly. However, under the second alternative in the definition above, there is here included a process of separating parts in unexpected or unusual relation to each other, i.e., a broken drill stem

in a hole, or two noncooperating parts frictionally stuck together.

(2) Note. Since the term "manufacturing" has been defined, for the purpose of classification, as including disassembly, this and indented subclasses have been screened and all relevant patents have been classified as originals in the appropriate special article subclasses appearing, above.
