Note(s) In this class, the following terms are used with the meanings indicated: "Other fluent materials" is to be interpreted as including semiliquids, pastes, melts, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, particulate materials, gases or vapours; [2] "Particulate materials" is to be intepreted as including powders, granules, short fibres or chips; [2] "Coating" means the materials applied. The coating may be a liquid having become solid after drying, e.g. paint. [2]

Note(s) Attention is drawn to the note following the title of class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B05. [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 |
Note(s) Attention is drawn to the note following the title of class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B05. [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]

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

|  | B05D |
Note(s) Attention is drawn to the note following the title of class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B05. [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]
