SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
This class is the generic class for machines and machine methods
of making, repairing, and maintaining in proper condition articles
of apparel and analogous articles except as provided for in other
classes.
It also includes certain devices and methods of plaiting, folding,
turning, etc., applied to table linen, bed linen, curtains, bags
and like articles not apparel, because of their similarity to apparel-treating
devices.
The group of trimming making also includes devices and methods
of making trimmings not necessarily used with garments but which
may be so used and are analogous to those which are so used as e.g.,
making tassels for curtains are here since their making is like
that of muff or garment tassels.
SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
For apparel articles and article processes, see Class 2, Apparel,
which is the broad class for articles of apparel and article processes
not coming under this class or the classes noted below.
For dyeing and fluid treatment of fabrics see Class 8, Bleaching
and Dyeing; Fluid Treatment and Chemical Modification of Textiles
and Fibers, for apparatus for dyeing and fluid treatment of textiles
and fabrics, see Class 68, Textiles: Fluid Treating Apparatus.
For making shoes, see Class 12, Boot and Shoe Making.
For brushing and general cleaning, see Class 15, Brushing,
Scrubbing, and General Cleaning.
For the Treatment, finishing, and ornamentation of cloth,
see Class 26, Textiles: Cloth Finishing.
See Class 34, Drying and Gas or Vapor Contact With Solids,
for garment drying apparatus and processes of general utility, not
claiming features of a form to fit or hold a garment, or process
steps correspondingly limited. The mere naming of the garment in
a process, or the recitation of a garment form generally or for
a particular garment (e.g., by reciting forms, flat forms, garment
forms, boards, stocking forms, etc.) will not exclude the case from
Class 34.
For boots and shoes, see Class 36, Boots, Shoes, and Leggings.
For the manufacture of garments by knitting, weaving or sewing,
see Class 66, Textiles: Knitting; Class 139, Textiles: Weaving;
and Class 112, Sewing, respectively.
For washing garments and for dry cleaning thereof, see Class
68, Textiles: Fluid Treating Apparatus. For ironing and smoothing
garments, see Class 38, Textiles: Ironing or Smoothing.
For coating or impregnating, per se, search Class 427, Coating
Processes, and Class 118, Coating Apparatus.
For making of garments, etc., by braiding, netting, or lace
making, see Class 87, Textiles: Braiding, Netting, and Lace Making.
For making sanitary pads or garmet pads by depositing a fibrous
pad on a cloth base and folding the base around the pad see Class
19, Textiles: Fiber Preparation, subclass 147. For processes and
apparatus for laminating in general and for forming a pad by a Class
19 operation combined with a laminating step see Class 156, Adhesive
Bonding and Miscellaneous Chemical Manufacture, appropriate subclasses.
