 B05

Note(s)

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

  1. "Other fluent materials" is to be interpreted as including semiliquids, pastes, melts, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, particulate materials, gases or vapours; [2]
  2. "Particulate materials" is to be intepreted as including powders, granules, short fibres or chips; [2]
  3. "Coating" means the materials applied. The coating may be a liquid having become solid after drying, e.g. paint. [2]

 B05B
SPRAYING APPARATUS; ATOMISING APPARATUS; NOZZLES (spray-mixers with nozzles B01F 5/20; processes for applying liquids or other fluent materials to surfaces by spraying B05D; means for pumping fluids F04; valves, e.g. water-taps F16K)  [2]
 B05B

Note(s)

  1. Attention is drawn to the note following the title of class B05[2]
  2. This sub-class is particularly concerned with apparatus for the release or projection of drops or droplets into the atmosphere or into a chamber to form a mist or the like. For this purpose, the materials to be projected may be suspended in a stream of gas or vapour. [2]

 B05C
APPARATUS FOR APPLYING LIQUIDS OR OTHER FLUENT MATERIALS TO SURFACES, IN GENERAL (spraying apparatus, atomising apparatus, nozzles B05B; plant for applying liquids or other fluent materials to objects by electrostatic spraying B05B 5/08; processes for applying liquids or other fluent materials to surfaces B05D)  [2]
 B05C

Note(s)

  1. Attention is drawn to the note following the title of class B05[2]
  2. This sub-class deals with apparatus or hand tools, in general, for applying liquids or other fluent materials to a surface or a part thereof, by any mechanical or physical method and is particularly concerned with apparatus for obtaining a uniform distribution of liquids or other fluent materials on a surface. [2]

 B05D
PROCESSES FOR APPLYING LIQUIDS OR OTHER FLUENT MATERIALS TO SURFACES, IN GENERAL (apparatus for applying liquids or other fluent materials to surfaces B05B, B05C)  [2]
 B05D

Note(s)

  1. Attention is drawn to the note following the title of class B05[2]
  2. This sub-class deals with processes for applying liquids or other fluent materials to a surface or part of a surface, in general, by any mechanical or physical method and is particularly concerned with processes producing a uniform distribution of liquids or other fluent materials on a surface. It also deals with pretreatment of surfaces to which liquids or other fluent materials are to be applied or with after-treatment of applied coatings. [2]
