(under subclass 55) Implement including an additional element extending from the support#, axially of the feed guide# and of the opening, for receiving (as specifically disclosed) some of the lateral force which may be imposed on a portion of the coating material extending from the opening.
(1) Note. The reinforcement may be a projection extending along the piece of coating material or within a hollow in the piece of coating material, as a core, or it may be a tube surrounding substantially all but the work contacting end portion of the piece.
(2) Note. For original placement of a patent in this subclass, the reinforcement must be claimed as a permanent part of the support or feed means and movable with respect to the piece; and its function must be clearly disclosed. A patent claiming a permanently reinforced piece of coating material will be placed as an original copy on the basis of other claimed subject matter and cross-referenced here.
