DEFINITION

Classification: 83/164

(under subclass 162) Device in which the guide is a tubular cavity within a hollow tool or its support, or in a member rigid with the tool or its support, said tool having an aperture and a continuous cutting edge bounding the open end of said aperture and together with said tubular cavity forming a path for the product pieces, away from the cutting zone, which does not follow only a single straight line.

(1) Note. A mere passage coextensive with the cutting edge opening and extending rectilinearly within the hollow tool is not considered a guide for this subclass.
