|
|
Cleaning travelling work, e.g. webs, by methods involving the use of tools, brushes or like members |
|
|
Metal rolling involving guiding, conveying or accumulating easily-flexible work, e.g. wire, sheet metal bands, in loops or curves |
|
|
Winding-up, coiling, winding-off or temporarily accumulating metal wire, metal band or other flexible metal material, characterised by features relevant to metal processing only, other than by rolling |
|
|
Feeding, positioning or storing devices, combined with, or arranged in, or specially adapted for use in connection with, apparatus for working or processing sheet metal without essentially removing material |
|
|
Means for automatic feeding of electrodes for spot or seam welding or cutting |
|
|
Handling for shaping or joining of plastics, for shaping of substances in a plastic state in general or for after-treatment of shaped products, e.g. feeding the material to be shaped |

- |
the groups relating to thin material, as defined under (i) of Note (3) below, are primarily intended to cover the handling of articles made of paper or cardboard, but also include the handling of articles made of other materials which have similar characteristics or present similar handling problems, e.g. articles made of sheet-plastics or leather; |
|
| |
- |
the groups relating to filamentary material (groups B 65 H 49/00 onwards), as defined in Note (3) below, cover only methods or devices of general application or interest. |
