DEFINITION

Classification: 83/279

(under subclass 202) Device including active or passive means which move or exert control on the work (other than by merely supporting it against gravity) before it reaches the means-to-feed it to the cutting zone.

(1) Note. The first named means (guiding, positioning, or transport) is not adequate of itself to present the work properly to the tool zone.

(2) Note. The first named means may merely orient or "square up" the work being presented to the work-feed means, or it may control the timing of work presentation to the latter.
