.~.~ Sizing mating parts during final positional association
DEFINITION
Classification: 29/445
Sizing mating parts during final positional association:
(under subclass 428) Process including assembling two or more cooperating parts in their ultimate relationship, and while they are assembled, altering their dimensions by machining, deforming, etc., concurrently so that a proper fit or tolerance of these parts with themselves or with the other cooperating parts of the mechanism is effected.
(1) Note. "Altering" of this subclass is to improve the fit of the parts; it does not comprise deforming of the parts to secure them to each other.
(2) Note. Both parts must be altered, but this may make them fit another part. For example, a rod assembled into a cylinder altered by transverse drilling for placement of a securing bolt is included herein.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
404, for a process of manufacture involving treating the part during the simulation of the actual operation or operating conditions for which the part will ultimately be used.
425, for a process of temporarily associating cooperating parts, altering their dimensions, disassociating the parts, and then reassembling them in a relationship different from the temporary one.
