DEFINITION

Classification: 445/60

Apparatus:

(under the class definition) Machine or implement.

(1) Note. This and the indented subclasses include all apparatus for the manufacture of electric lamps, liquid

crystal display devices and electric space discharge devices from an material and by any type of operation where no specific class provides for the claimed subject matter.

(2) Note. Work holders are usually classified with the apparatus for performing the operation. Miscellaneous work holders for assembly operations are in Class 269, Work Holders.

(3) Note. This and the indented subclasses include only such apparatus as is used during the manufacture of the lamp or discharge device. If the claimed subject matter is intended to be used during the operation of the lamp or discharge device and to thereby control the operating characteristics of the lamp or discharge device, the patent is excluded and will be found in the classes referred to in the notes below.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

1+, for the corresponding methods. See also the search notes thereto.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 29, Metal Working, appropriate subclasses, for diverse apparatus for manufacturing miscellaneous electrical devices. Also see

33+, for plural diverse manufacturing apparatus including metal shaping and/or assembly, and subclass 650 for plural diverse manufacturing apparatus.

34, Drying and Gas or Vapor Contact With Solids, the subclasses indented under the title "Apparatus" is the generic place for apparatus for the separation of liquids from solids by drying and the contacting of solids with either or both gases or vapors. See the notes to the class definition and the subclass definitions of Class 34 for other classes which provide for such apparatus.

65, Glass Manufacturing,

270, for glassworking apparatus comprising means for glass envelope tipping off, with or without exhausting means.

118, Coating Apparatus,

58+, for coating apparatus combined with means to heat or dry the work.

140, Wireworking, appropriate subclasses, for miscellaneous apparatus for assembling and making wire articles where only wireworking operations are involved. Note especially

71.5, for making (including forming and assembling) electrodes made of wire for electric lamps and electric space

discharge devices, such as grids, filaments, and subclass 71.6 for apparatus for joining wire electrodes (grids, filaments) to their support wires, subclasses 93+, for apparatus for applying wires to particular articles, and subclasses 111+, for apparatus for joining wire.

156, Adhesive Bonding and Miscellaneous Chemical Manufacture, appropriate subclasses for apparatus for making electrical devices by an adhesive joining step only.

204, Chemistry: Electrical and Wave Energy, 194+, for electrolytic coating apparatus combined with means for heat treating the coated article, see especially subclass 210 for such apparatus where the article being coated is a continuous strip or filament.

219, Electric Heating,

50+, for electric heating of metal, subclasses 200+ for electric heating of nonmetal, subclasses 600+ for inductive heating, subclasses 678+ for microwave heating, and subclasses 764+ for capacitive dielectric heating.

222, Dispensing,

3+, for apparatus for dispensing vapor, compressed air or gas.

250, Radiant Energy,

200+, for photocells and circuits and apparatus including photocells.

266, Metallurgical Apparatus,

102+, for means to heat treat a continuous metal strip, subclasses 114+ for heat treating a metal object combined with liquid contact apparatus, e.g., quench tank, and 249+ for heat treating a metal object in the presence of a treating or protective gas.

313, Electric Lamp and Discharge Devices, appropriate subclasses, for the devices, per se.

373, Industrial Electric Heating Furnaces, appropriate subclasses, for electric furnace structures.

396, Photography, 546+, for means to record an image which is to be used as a multicolor luminescent target of a CRT.

409, Gear Cutting, Milling, or Planing,

288+, for planing machines.

417, Pumps,

48+, for electrical or getter type pumps.

422, Chemical Apparatus and Process Disinfecting, Deodorizing, Preserving, or Sterilizing,

129+, and 243+ for miscellaneous apparatus especially designed to perform chemical and analogous processes.

425, Plastic Article or Earthenware Shaping or Treating: Apparatus, appropriate subclasses, for shaping or reshaping apparatus peculiar to plastic or powdered materials, especially

113+, for applying a coating to a conductor by extrusion shaping means and subclass 117 for apparatus for making a composite of a preform and fluent material.
