DEFINITION

Classification: 83/360

(under the class definition) Device provided with a detector* for the work, a transmitter*, and means to effect the functioning of at least a part of the device as a direct or indirect result of the receipt by said means of a detected and transmitted signal or impulse.

(1) Note. In this and the indented subclasses, that part of the device whose functioning is effected in response to the signal or impulse will be referred to as a "controlled apparatus".

(2) Note. For patents in which the functioning of a controlled apparatus is affected (e.g., varying the speed of the work or cutter, or changing the working conditions of the device) in response to deviations of an operating condition of the device or a component thereof, as distinguished from response to work, see subclasses 72+.

(3) Note. For patents in which the controlled apparatus is a means to handle the product, see subclass 80.

(4) Note. For patents in which the controlled apparatus is a means to stop work movement and a means to initiate a cutting cycle, see subclasses 208, 209+, and 211+.

(5) Note. For patents in which the controlled apparatus is a "flying" cutter, see subclasses 286+ and 307.

(6) Note. The combination of means to produce a mark on work and means to detect the mark, in response to which detection, an operation is effected, will be found in the appropriate mark-producing class. SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

62, and 63+, for stopping means responsive to work.

71, for control means responsive to indicia-bearing tape or card.

72+, and see (2) Note above.

80, and see (3) Note above.

208, 209+, and 211+, and see (4) Note above.

286+, and 307, and see (5) Note above.

358+, for similar structure responsive to product.
