MECHANICAL METAL-WORKING WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVING MATERIAL; PUNCHING METAL (casting, powder metallurgy Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B22; shearing Fulltext... Hierarchy...

|  | B21 |
Note(s) This class does not cover: combinations of operations covered by different subclasses of class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B21, which are covered by subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B23P; combinations of operations covered by any particular subclass of class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B21 with operations covered by other classes, e.g. with operations involving removal of material, which are also covered by subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B23P, except that if the operations covered by the other classes are subsidiary to the operations properly covered by a single subclass of Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B21 the combination is classified in that subclass. Processes of a kind covered by this class but applied to non-metallic materials are classified in this class if they are applicable to metal and cannot be classified fully in another class.

|  | B21H |
MAKING PARTICULAR METAL OBJECTS BY ROLLING, e.g. SCREWS, WHEELS, RINGS, BARRELS, BALLS (essentially from sheet metal Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B21D)

|  | B21H |
Note(s) This subclass covers only rolling operations which are specially adapted for use in the manufacture of particular objects and which are not essentially combined with any different metal-working operation unless the latter is a subsidiary operation performed in the same machine.
