368.~ Positioning of tool controlled


DEFINITION

Classification: 83/368

(under subclass 360) Device in which the controlled apparatus is a cutter movable in a direction other than in the work-cutting path and the function effected is the movement of said cutter in said other direction.

(1) Note. The inclusion of the term "other" in the above definition is not intended to exclude patents having claimed means to impart a work-cutting movement. Patents claiming such means (per se, classifiable in other subclasses in this schedule) and, in addition to such means, claiming means to impart a supplemental movement (such as for locating the cutter in, or shifting it to, a different position relative to the work or the machine; e.g., to cut a different part of the work, or place the cutter out of operative position) responsive to the work-sensing means, will be placed in this subclass.
