DEFINITION

Classification: 65/483

FIBER MAKING APPARATUS:

(under the class definition) Apparatus directed to producing (a) rodlike stock of sufficiently small diameter, either (i) as continuous filaments of indefinite length, or (ii) short discrete pieces, or (b) stock material intended to be used in fiber and filament making.

264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Processes,

5+, for processes, within the class definition, of liquid comminuting and solidifying of general application and subclasses 165+ for processes of forming indefinite-length fibers or filaments from materials which may be disclosed to be siliceous materials in solution or suspension by precipitation in a reactive or solvent extractive bath or by evaporation of the solvent.
