.~.~ And additional means to retract from operative position
DEFINITION
Classification: 401/62
(under subclass 55) Implement having means, supplemental to or independent of the advancing means, by which the piece (with or without the advancing means) may be wholly withdrawn from its extended operative position to a housed inoperative position.
(1) Note. A disclosure that mere reversal of advancing means (e.g., turning screw feed means in the opposite direction) will pull material back into an implement will not suffice for placement of a patent in this subclass.
