DEFINITION

Classification: 72/379.2

Deforming sheet metal:

(under subclass 362) Process, not classifiable in any other subclass thereunder, for deforming work material which is substantially two-dimensional in nature, i.e., having length and width dimensions which are extremely large as compared to the general thickness of the material.

(1) Note. This subclass is residual to sheet material deforming processes. Search for a process of deforming sheet material must therefore be extended to any other subclass above in this schedule which may be appropriate to sheet metal deformation, e.g., subclasses 179, 196, or 375.
