SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
While theoretically all abrading (or grinding) may be said
to involve a cutting action, the cutting instrument being a natural
one, for example, the sharp edges of randomly oriented crystals,
as opposed to the teeth of a file, milling tool, or the like, nevertheless
there is a practical distinction between an abrading (or grinding)
device on the one hand, and a cutting device on the other, as means of
working various materials, which is sufficiently well understood
throughout the industrial world to permit this distinction to be
made in the classification of inventions relating to such devices.
The present classification therefore excludes any and every form
of cutting, milling, or filing if the abrading is done with materials
of sufficiently fine grain to produce a light-reflecting surface
or polish. The term "abrading" may include a polishing
device that acts by removal of an integral portion of the material
acted upon, but not such as depends upon the application of a coating
capable of taking a polish by friction or upon a compression, consolidation,
or swaging of the material, for which see Lines With Other Classes
and Within This Class, below.
Every invention relating to abrading must have to do either
with an abrading element; a tool consisting of an abrading element
or material and a holder by which it may be put to use; a machine
embodying an abrading material or tool and means for moving it or
the work, or an action equivalent to that of a tool; a holder for
the work; a method or process of abrading; an attachment or accessory
to a tool, machine, or process; or a plurality of these features.
An abrasive tool distinguished solely by the abrasive material or
composition will be found elsewhere. See References to Other Classes,
below.
Abrading machines are herein broadly classed under either
of two headings, viz., an abrading machine using a tool or material
of definite shape or character or an abrading machine having no
such tool or material. The known types of tool are an endless band
of abrasive material, a nonrotary block or pad, and a rotary cylinder or
disk. Machines using a tool are differentiated from one another,
first, by the character of the tool as to the motion given thereto
or by the absence of such motion, its function being accomplished
by movement of the work, and, second, by the manner of handling
the work.
A moving tool has either a continuous longitudinal motion
in one direction, a reciprocating motion, a rotary motion, or a
combination of two or more of these motions. In the present classification,
no patents are placed under the title "Machine, Reciprocating
Tool" in which the tool has other than a reciprocating
movement, nor any under the title "Rotary Tool" in
which it has other than a rotary motion. Those combining these motions
are placed under the title "Machine, Rotary Reciprocating
Tool." As to the second differentiation for machine, it
is to be noted that there is scarcely a type of work-handling means
which has not been applied to and used with each and every type
of tool.
In the case of a machine using a rotary tool, a further differentiation
is based upon whether the abrading is done by the peripheral or
curved face or by the radial or diametrical plane face of the tool
or by a combination of abrading surfaces (for example, a cup-shaped
tool), and upon the pluralization of tools with opposed working faces,
between which the work is treated.
In the case of a stationary tool machine, reciprocating tool
machine, or tool, per se, differentiation is based upon the flexible
or rigid characteristics of the tool.
An abrading machine is included which depends upon the use
of an amorphous or loose granular mass of abrading material in which
the work is immersed or through which it is passed or which is forcibly
carried in contact with the work. This will be found under the title "By
use of plural work holders, without tool" and the subclasses
indented thereunder, and under the titles, "Machine"; "Machine,
Rotary Tool"; "Sandblast"; or "Tumbling
device" and the subclasses indented thereunder.
A machine which uses abrading instruments of more than one
of the types recognized in this classification is placed under the
title "Machine, combined"; and those in which
an abrading means is inseparably organized with means for subjecting
the material handled to other treatment are placed under the title "Machine,
combined, with nonabrading operations."
With two exceptions (for which see Lines With Other Classes
and Within This Class, below), apparatus in which the abrading operation
is in the nature of cleaning by removal of foreign or extraneous
material from the surface of the work rather than of an integral
portion of the work itself is classified in this class.
A shot-peening machine and process for removing material from
a workpiece, as opposed to that for deforming or burnishing a workpiece
surface, are found in this class.
SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
The present classification of abrading excludes any and every
form of cutting, milling, or filing if the abrading is done with
materials of sufficiently fine grain to produce a light-reflecting
surface or polish. Abrading may include a polishing device that
acts by removal of an integral portion of the material acted upon,
but not such as depends upon the application of a coating capable
of taking a polish by friction or upon a compression, consolidation,
or swaging of the material, such as is involved in the method or
a device classified in Class 29, Metal Working, subclasses 90.01+ and
Class 144, Woodworking, subclass 49.
CLASS 15 EXCEPTIONS
Shotting apparatus for bottle cleaning is classified in Class
15, Brushing, Scrubbing, and General Cleaning and a machine or system
for cleaning the inside of tubular work by passing a solid (sometimes
abradant) cleaning instrumentality through such work in a fluid
stream is also classified in Class 15. A device for cleaning by the
use of brushes only, without an abradant and with or without a liquid,
are excluded from this class (451) and will be found in Class 15.

SUBCLASSES
1 | PRECISION DEVICE OR PROCESS - OR WITH CONDITION RESPONSIVE
CONTROL: |
| This subclass is indented under the class definition. Process or apparatus comprising use of means for regulating
and limiting the depth of cut of the grinder by controlling the
feed of the grinder toward the work or of the work toward the grinder.
| (1)
Note. Means for regulating and limiting the depth of cut
of the grinder are often referred to as "sizing" devices. |
| (2)
Note. The above definition is as it has been for a long time
(except that it now includes processes) and under which the indented
subclasses (except subclasses 2 and 76) are defined. It is intended
that the "condition responsive" art will be collected
in this and the indented subclasses, to be defined in the future,
as follows: WITH CONDITION RESPONSIVE CONTROL: Abrading (or grinding)
under the class definition including the process of or means for:
(1) detecting any of the following characteristics: (a) a state
or a property; (b) a change in a state or property or an occurrence
of a predetermined event in any of the following: (i) a workpiece
being abraded; (ii) the abraded product; (iii) the abrading machine
or tool; or (iv) the environment of the machine or tool affecting
the operation thereof; and (2) initiating or modifying (as a direct
result of such detection) a force or impulse other than that generated
or transmitted by the detecting means; and, (3) regulating or modifying
(as a direct result of such initiation) the operation. |
| (3)
Note. This definition requires that a patent claim at least
four instrumentalities or use of same, for original placement herein.
One of these is an abrading device. The other three are: (a) a sensor (e.g.,
a photocell system, trip lever, pressure diaphragm, etc.) to detect
a condition stated in (a) of the definition; (b) an activator (e.g.,
an element to make or break an electric circuit, a clutch, a valve,
etc.) to cause a release of energy more than or different from that accounted
by mere change in condition (e.g., position, movement, etc.) of
the sensor while it is functioning; and, (c) a controller (e.g.,
a motor or driver for said apparatus) to change or cause the operation
of said apparatus. Therefore, a cam follower (or sensor) directly
linked to a controller, whereby follower movement directly effects
controller movement, is not proper subject matter for this subclass
due to lack of an activator as defined. However, the same claimed structure
is included herein if, for example, a claimed cam follower is disclosed as
breaking an electrical circuit that energizes a motor. |
| (4)
Note. A voluntary act of the person operating the machine
(the "operative") is not proper subject matter
for this subclass; e.g., disclosure of an abrading machine having
an on/off switch adapted to be manipulated by the operative
to start or stop the machine (even though the switch initiates a
release of energy) is not included under the limitations of this definition. | |
| |
2 | Condition responsive control for sandblasting: |
| This subclass is indented under subclass 1. Subject matter as set forth in the (2) Note, including use
of means to propel a stream of fluent abrasive material to effect

Note. The stream may be propelled either by a compressed
fluid (i.e., a gas or a liquid), a magnetic field, or a mechanical
centrifugal device. |
| (2)
Note. The fluent abrasive material herein may be sand or
any other particulate material that will perform in like manner
when propelled against a workpiece. |

the operation involved is merely cognate or accessory to some abrading
operation without being sufficiently distinct to warrant assignment
to another art. |

CROSS-REFERENCE ART COLLECTIONS
The following subclasses are collections of published disclosures
pertaining to various specified aspects of the abrading art. These
specified aspects do not form appropriate bases for subclasses in
the foregoing classification (i.e., subclasses superior hereto in
the schedule) wherein original copies of patents are placed on the basis
of proximate function of the apparatus. These subclasses assist
a search based on remote function of the apparatus and may be of
further assistance to the searcher, either as a starting point in
searching this class or as an indication of further related fields
of search inside or outside the class. Thus, there is here provided a
second access for retrieval of a limited number of types of disclosures.
| (1)
Note. Disclosures are placed in these subclasses for their
value as references and as leads to appropriate main or secondary
fields of search, without regard to their original classification
or their claimed subject matter. |
| (2)
Note. The disclosures found in the following subclasses are
examples, only, of the indicated subject matter, and in no instance
