DEFINITION

Classification: 29/566

Including composite tool:

(under subclass 33) Apparatus including a unitary or integral work modifying means embodying structural elements which, in each and every single work contacting cycle, effect plural diverse treatments or modifications of work--which modifications are either superimposed, concentric, or in immediate contiguous relationship.

(1) Note. Included here, for example, are devices wherein a rotary cutter (Class 83) has mounted on its radial face an element which burnishes (Class 29), abrades (Class 451), or mills (Class 409).

(2) Note. A platen carrying spaced plural tools which progressively act on and modify work, intermittently presented from one tool to another in succession, is not considered to be a composite tool; see subclasses 563 and 565, above.
