Note(s)

  1. This sub-class provides for cutting non-metallic sheet material and metal foil in general and for cutting other forms of non-metallic material not otherwise provided for.
  2. This sub-class includes also features specific to machines for cutting, perforating, punching, cutting-out, stamping-out, and severing by means other than cutting, which relate to a requirement or problem of a nature which is not peculiar to a machine for cutting or for perforating, punching, cutting-out, stamping-out or for severing by means other than cutting, that is, details of and arrangements for operating and controlling such machines, although the realisation of such features may differ according to the kind of machine concerned. This sub-class provides in general for such features even if the feature in any particular case is to some extent peculiar to, or is claimed only for, a machine designed for perforating, punching, cutting-out, stamping-out, or for severing other than by cutting. If the details or arrangements have no essential features specific to cutting, perforating, punching, cutting-out, stamping-out or severing machines, the more general class, e.g. F16, takes precedence.
  3. In this sub-class, in the sub-groups of the main groups B26D 5/00 and B26D 7/00, the term "cutting" is intended to include cutting-out, stamping-out, punching, perforating, and severing by means other than cutting.
