(under subclass 6.1) Subject matter provided with a plurality of diverse operating assemblages wherein the regulating means governs the functioning of the various operating assemblages.
(1) Note. The term "operating assemblage", is intended to include a tool, or any element or group of elements, acting together, which performs an action or produces an effect upon the work or product; or which causes a tool movement necessary to deformation of the work; or which is ancillary to a deforming instrumentality.
(2) Note. This subclass is the locus of deforming including control of a sequence of operations performed by different operating assemblages except those responsive to tool movement (for which see subclass 20.3).
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
14.6, for a metal deforming machine having a roller or roller-like tool, with control of different operating assemblages.
20.3, for metal deforming including control of a sequence of operations performed by different operating assemblages including those responsive to tool movement; and see (2) Note above.
