.~ With means to facilitate manual repositioning (shift) of work
DEFINITION
Classification: 83/249
(under subclass 202) Device which has certain parts modified especially to enable an operator to shift, reoriented or reposition the work relative to the work-feed means.
(1) Note. Such machines may permit the angular repositioning of the work about the tool cutting stroke as a center, to enable for example a change in the direction of a row of perforations without introducing an irregularity in spacing where the change is made.
(2) Note. Means to facilitate loading work into the work-feed means may be included (threading means) if it is disclosed as also usable to readjust the position of work while the machine is in operation.
(3) Note. Many nibbling machines are found in this subclass.
