DEFINITION

Classification: 30/124

Cutlery implements combined with means to hold or dispose of material to be cut, being cut or which has been cut.

(1) Note. This group includes cutlery implements with a receptacle in the handle for holding material, for which see

this class, subclass 125.

(2) Note. This group also includes means to grip the material being cut before, during or after it is cut, for which see this class, especially subclasses 134+.

(3) Note. Compare this class, subclasses 40, 41, 535, and 537.

(4) Note. Many cigar tip cutters in this class, subclasses 109+, have means for catching the clippings.

(5) Note. Compare Class 56, Harvesters, subclasses 324+, 327.1+, and 328.1+. Fruit picking cutters which have means for merely gripping the stem of the fruit being cut are in Class 30 while cutters with baskets, chutes, etc., are in Class 56.

(6) Note. See Class 229, Envelopes, Wrappers, and Paperboard Boxes, appropriate subclasses, for paper receptacles combined with spoons or having spoons formed integrally with a portion of the receptacle structure, particularly subclasses 8, 401, and 800.

(7) Note. See Class 294, Handling: Hand and Hoist-Line Implements, subclasses 50.6+ for hand shovels or similar blade-like members having means coacting with the shovel or blade member to retain a load therein or thereon. The line between these classes is that the grippers in this class act to hold the material independently of the cutting blade. (8) Note. Search Class 7, Compound Tools, subclasses 114+ for cutters combined with hand operable beet lifters or beet pullers.

(9) Note. Search Class 83, Cutting, subclasses 649+ for all patents including a cutting tool and means to support a reserve supply of work in which the work supply is in the form of a web or strand wrapped upon itself and the supply is supported for rotation upon an axis. Note that the usual lines between this class (30) and Class 83 do not apply in this situation. (See the third paragraph under III A in the definition of Class 83). A patent directed to the same type work supply means combined with a breaking or tearing, as distinguished from a cutting tool, will be found in Class 225.

(10) Note. Search Class 225, Severing by Tearing or Breaking, for patents including a tearing edge or a breaking device and means to support a reserve supply of work.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

410, for can openers combined with means for holding the lid that is being severed to prevent it from dropping into the can.
