(under subclass 406) Apparatus comprising facing shaping cavities which coact to press fluent stock into a a desired shape, the cavities having meeting portions of co-extensive area.
(1) Note. Excluded under the definition is a device in which either of the cavity forming means includes a protuberance which enters into the other cavity. Such apparatus will be found in subclasses 398+ or 412, for example.
