DEFINITION

Classification: 72/417

INCLUDING INTERRELATED TOOL MOVER AND BLANK HOLDER MOVER:

(under the class definition) Device including means to move and/or guide two or more relatively movable elements, a portion of the driving and/or guiding means of one movable element having a common connection with the driving and/or guiding means of another one of the movable elements, at least one of said elements being designed and intended to carry a work-engaging instrumentality which (when coupled with an opposing, but not claimed, instrumentality) will hold a portion of the work* during deformation thereof.

(1) Note. The "movable elements", as used in the above definition, are frequently denoted as "slides" in patent disclosures.

(2) Note. See the numerous subclass titles, in the schedule of this class, for expression such as: "clamps(s), "tool-complex", "frictional restraining force", "gripper(s)", "interrelated clamp and tool-mover", "means to hold", and "work-gripping", indicating subclasses which include interrelated relatively movable elements that operate in a manner similar to the device defined in this subclass.
