(under subclass 288) Apparatus including means to move or affect the movement of material that has been planed or of scrap material of a planing operation.
(1) Note. A single device to feed work to and remove product from a planing station is considered to be a work handling rather than product handling means. However, similarly claimed means disclosed as a work handling means and a distinct product handling means will be found herein.
(2) Note. Means for continuous or incremental advance of material from a first planing station to a sequentially acting second station is considered to be product handling for this subclass.
