DEFINITION
Classification: 72/701
PREVENTING DISTORTION:
Disclosure of metal deformation wherein unwanted deformation is precluded.
(1) Note. The term "unwanted deformation" is meaningful only in accordance with the intent of applicant, patentee or author as expressed in the disclosure. To be placed herein a disclosure should clearly indicate a deliberate attempt to prevent a deformation clearly stated to be undesired. Examples of terms used to express undesired distortion include: "distortion", "lateral deflection", "buckling", "warping", "wind", "twisting", "masking", "collapsing", "crushing", "flattening", "crowding", "wrinkling" and "cobbling". It is obvious that some of the terms are also used to describe desired deformation, therefore some care should be taken to properly assess the disclosed intent.
