DEFINITION

Classification: 425/110

(under the class definition) Apparatus comprising means for imparting shape to fluent or bulk moldable material and means especially adapted to position, transport, hold, or in any way handle a preform in such a manner that the preform and the fluent or bulk material will become united to form a composite product.

(1) Note. To be included herein a portion of the fluent or bulk material which initially contacts the preform during the uniting must be in a moldable, plastic or unsolidified state or condition.

(2) Note. To be included herein the preform must constitute a desired part of the final product. Shaping elements, (e.g.., cores, mold parts, pie pans, etc..) which may remain temporarily with the molded product are not included herein but are placed in appropriate subclasses below.

(3) Note. For the general definition of the term "bulk stock" see the glossary. Within the scope of this and

indented subclasses, however, are rubber charges, e.g.., shoe soles and heels, etc.., which are confined within a vulcanizing mold and take as their final shape the shape of the mold.
