.~.~ With magnetic-hold control means (e.g., means to control the hold strength)
DEFINITION
Classification: 335/295
(under subclass 285) Subject matter including means to control or vary the holding strength of the magnet.
(1) Note. This subclass includes permanent magnets with means to divert or shunt the magnetic flux away from the workpiece being held, to thereby magnetically release the workpiece for removal.
