(under subclass 331) Processes wherein the coated work or article is moved in a certain position or direction, or is given a particular motion (i.e., vibrated, rotated, etc.), to distribute the applied coatings, remove excess coating or otherwise treat the coated product.
(1) Note. This subclass provides for rotation of the base wherein the force of gravity acts to spread the coating material. However if the base is rotated fast enough so that centrifugal force distributes the coating material the process is in subclasses 240+ above.
