Notes

(1)

 This subclass does not cover:
 

-

 operations of the types mentioned in Note (2) (a) to (f), employed in the manufacture of articles other than packages, which are covered by other appropriate subclasses, e.g. making confectionery products by casting in moulds formed by wrappers A 23 G, filling ammunition, e.g. cartridges, F 42 B 33/02;
 

-

 methods of packaging, which are wholly characterised by the form of the package produced, or the form of the container or packaging-element used, which are covered by B 65 D.

(2)

 In this subclass, the following terms are used with the meanings indicated:
 

-

 "packaging" includes mainly the following operations:
 

(a)

 filling portable containers or receptacles with materials or small articles to form packages;
 

(b)

 inserting articles or groups of articles into containers or receptacles;
 

(c)

 closing filled containers or receptacles otherwise than by metal-, glass-, or wood-working operations;
 

(d)

 enclosing, or partially enclosing, articles or quantities of material, in sheets, strips, blanks, webs, or tubes of thin flexible material, e.g. wrapping;
 

(e)

 bundling articles, e.g. holding articles together in groups by applying string or wire;
 

(f)

 attaching articles to cards, sheets, or webs.
 

-

 "package" means the end product of a packaging operation, e.g. a filled and closed container, an article enclosed in a wrapper, a group of articles held together by string or wire, a crate of bottles.
 

-

 "materials" includes matter, or masses of articles, which are to be packaged, as distinct from separate or individual articles.

 

 

 

Machines, apparatus, or methods of general application for packaging articles or materials
 

 1
/ 00 Packaging fluent solid material, e.g. powders, granular or loose fibrous material, loose masses of small articles, in individual containers or receptacles, e.g. bags, sacks, boxes, cartons, cans, jars (under special atmospheric or gaseous conditions B 65 B 31/00)

1
/ 02 • Machines characterised by the incorporation of means for making the containers or receptacles (from flat, folded, or tubular webs of flexible sheet material B 65 B 9/00; making containers or receptacles of interest apart from this application, see the appropriate subclasses)
