DEFINITION
Classification: 445/22
Combined, e.g., with shaping of lamp or device envelope:
(under subclass 1) Method which includes a step which is, per se, (1) not provided for in this class and which (2) performs a function other than that utilized to perfect an operation provided for in this class.

29, Metal Working,
592+, for processes of making metallic articles and processes of working metal not classified in specific classes. Subclasses 592+ are not limited to metal working operations, and nonmetal working operations are included in combination with a metal working operation. Also note subclasses 592.1+ for miscellaneous processes for making electrical devices which include a metal working operation. Subclasses 874+ provides for processes for making contacts and terminals for electric lamps, electric space discharge devices and other electrical devices.
34, Drying and Gas or Vapor Contact With Solids,
427, for contacting of the article or the material with either or both gases or vapors combined with a diverse type process.
65, Glass Manufacturing,
17.1+, for appropriate process subclasses limited to glass shaping or reshaping, or fusion bonding of glass to a formed part. 144, Woodworking, for a woodworking process involving an operation other than woodworking in addition to the woodworking operation where no specific class provides for the combined operations.
148, Metal Treatment, appropriate subclasses for processes of treating solid or semi-solid metal to modify or maintain the internal physical structure (i.e., microstructure) or chemical properties of metal. If metal casting, fusion bonding, machining, or working is involved, there is a requirement of significant heat treatment as described in section III, A, of the Class 148 definition.
164, Metal Founding,
76.1, for metal casting processes combined with a diverse nonperfecting operation.
204, Chemistry: Electrical and Wave Energy, appropriate
subclasses for electrical or wave energy processes provided for by the Class 204 definition.
219, Electric Heating,
50+, for electric heating of metal, per se.
264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Processes,
238, for methods of plastic molding, shaping, or working combined with a diverse operation.
315, Electric Lamp and Discharge Devices: Systems,
178+, for plural diverse type load devices. 427, Coating Processes,
401, for coating processes combined with a diverse nonperfecting operation.
