.~> Anvil has motion in addition to rotation (i.e., traveling anvil) {2}
DEFINITION
Classification: 83/509
(under the class definition) Device provided with two cutter members in close proximity to, and in cooperative cutting relation with, each other, in which one member comprises a surface mounted for rotation about an axis and, as disclosed, forming a contacting or backup means positioned on one face of work and the other member comprises a blade having a work cutting edge positioned on the opposite face of work, which edge contacts said surface to cut work thickness-wise from face-to-face of work.
(1) Note. This subclass is similar to subclasses 505+
above, in that both subclasses provide for patents including a rotatable anvil and a fixed-type cutter. In subclasses 505+ the anvil is a smooth cylinder and the cutter is a rotatable disc blade. In this subclass (509) the anvil is a cylinder with either a smooth or a peripherally grooved surface, and the cutter is an edged, nonrotatable, noncyclic blade, the blade either contacting the periphery of a smooth cylinder or in close proximity to the grooves of a grooved cylinder.
(2) Note. For similar structure wherein the anvil is claimed as a means to feed the work, see subclass 434.
