DEFINITION

Classification: 493/376

By passing tether through tag or label and article in single stroke:

(under subclass 375) Method or apparatus wherein the first, second, and third workpieces are positioned relative to one another by causing the second or extending workpiece to move through an opening, which it may form, in the first workpiece and through an opening, which it may form in the third workpiece during a single movement.

(1) Note. The piercing of this workpiece is intended to enable an assembling, rather than piercing to form an opening in a workpiece. Such a piercing operation is indistinguishable from one in which textile fibers are separated to enable passage of a tether and therefor has been placed in this subclass rather than the subclass of cutting.

340+, for assembling combined with intentional piercing.
