.~ With means to control work-responsive signal system {2}
363
.~.~ To change length of product
DEFINITION
Classification: 83/363
(under subclass 361) Device in which the control means is effective to alter the extent of the cut product.
(1) Note. The "extent" of a cut product is defined as that dimension parallel to the direction of work movement regardless of the size or extent of that dimension relative to other dimensions, (i.e., for the purpose of this subclass the length or extent of a product may be smaller than the width thereof if short pieces are cut from relatively wide work).
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
241+, for other means to vary the product length in a subclass 202 type of cutting device.
287+, for other product-length changing apparatus using a "flying" cutter.
354, for means to vary the timing of the tool relative to moving work, responsive to a work characteristic.
