(under subclass 350) Device provided with work-carrying structure which is drivingly connected to tool-actuating means so that movement of the work-carrying structure
transmits power from itself to a tool to cause the latter to cut the moving work.
(1) Note. One tool is sometimes fixed to the work support, and a cooperating tool moved by linkage connected thereto.
(2) Note. The concept of this subclass is distinguished from that of a "flying cutter" by the fact that here the work may be at rest in the cutting zone at the start of the operation. Thus the actuated tool of this subclass may have a component of motion in the direction of the moving work.
(3) Note. The work-carrying structure constitutes or is part of work-moving means, hence is distinguishable from a "work-responsive" detector or sensing means, for which see subclasses 360+.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
284+, for a tool which has a component of motion during cutting in the direction in which the work enters the cutting zone. 360+, for operation controlled by means responsive to work.
