(under subclass 648) Device in which the work supply is in the form of a web or strand wrapped upon itself and the supply is supported for rotation upon an axis.
(1) Note. This subclass is the locus of all patents including a cutting tool and means to support a reserve supply of work in which the work supply is in the form of a web or strand wrapped upon itself and the supply is supported for rotation upon an axis. Hence, the usual lines between this class (83) and Class 30, Cutlery, do not apply in this situation (see section II, Lines With Other Classes, subsection A, Relationship to Other Classes Including, per se, Cutting, Severing, or Incising, paragraph 1, The class of cutting implements, Class 30). Class 225, Severing by Tearing or Breaking, includes patents reciting a tearing edge or a breaking device and means to support a reserve supply of work.
