DEFINITION

Classification: 83/84

(under subclass 78) Device which includes structure for placing or retaining product pieces in some regular order relative to, and in contact with, one another.

(1) Note. Included in this group of subclasses are patents which disclose that elongated product pieces are arranged in substantial parallelism or that flat product pieces are arranged sequentially in face-to-face contact.

(2) Note. As indicated by the subclass definition, a patent claiming a receptacle or support which is disclosed as serving to receive and retain the product pieces in an orderly arrangement will be included in this group of subclasses. However, where there is no teaching that the product pieces are placed or held in the receptacle or on the support in some regular order the patent will be placed in subclass 167, below.
