DEFINITION
Classification: 81/463
INCLUDING TOOL DRIVING BY IMPACT DELIVERING COMPONENT ORCOOPERATING ANVIL:
(under the class definition) Tools provided with either (a) a movably attached component intended to forcibly strike against structure linked to or formed on a work-engaging portion of the tool, or (b) structure which is linked to or formed on the work-engaging portion of the tool and specially designed or constructed to receive an impact from a movably attached component of the tool.
(1) Note. The mere claiming of one or more surfaces for receiving an impact from an integral component of the tool (e.g., pivot arm) is classified in this subclass. If, however, the surface claimed is intended to receive an impact from a distinct impacting tool (e.g., hammer) classification is elsewhere based on other features of the tool.

15, Brushing, Scrubbing, and General Cleaning,
104.04, and 104.07 for impact tools for cleaning pipes and tubes.
29, Metal Working,
243.53+, for a riveting device not elsewhere classified, and subclass 254 for impact- operated apparatus having means for engaging two work parts to be assembled or disassembled. 30, Cutlery,
164.6, 168, and 277 for impact-operated cutlery.
72, Metal Deforming, appropriate subclasses for a process or an apparatus for deforming metal by the use of an impact means, e.g., forging with a drop hammer, as in
435+, or "impact extrusion" as in subclass 267.
83, Cutting,
616, for impact-driven reciprocable cutting or punching tools.
104, Railways,
10+, for tampers. 114, Ships, subclass 3 for warship-carried rams. 125, Stone Working, subclass 40 for impact-operated, stone-working, and analogous tools.
144, Woodworking,
193.1+, for an impact-operated splitter.
164, Metal Founding, 169+, for mold-making apparatus including compaction means, and subclasses 260+ for metal-casting apparatus including a vibrator.
173, Tool Driving or Impacting,
90+, for an impacting device of general utility, and particularly subclasses 93+ for an impact device having an anvil arranged to deliver a torsional impact. An impact-type drive having a Class 81 type tool claimed by name only is classified in Class 173.
225, Severing by Tearing or Breaking,
93+, for metal-breaking devices which may include an impact-delivery means.
227, Elongated-Member-Driving Apparatus,
51, for apparatus for heading a member (e.g., rivet).
241, Solid Material Comminution or Disintegration,
270+, for stamp mills and analogous devices.
254, Implements or Apparatus for Applying Pushing or Pulling Force,
19, for impact-type nail extractors.
299, Mining or In Situ Disintegration of Hard Material, 69+, and see the search there noted for a hard material disintegrating machine driving a percussive-type cutter.
310, Electrical Generator or Motor Structure,
15+, for reciprocating electric motors.
404, Road Structure, Process, or Apparatus,
133, for tamping means.
433, Dentistry,
118+, for motor-driven, impact-operated dental tools, and subclasses 150+ for hand-operated, impact-receiving or delivering dental tool.
