WORKING OF PLASTICS; WORKING OF SUBSTANCES IN A PLASTIC STATE IN GENERAL

Note(s) [2010.01]

  • This class does not cover the working of plastics sheet material in a manner analogous to the working of paper, which is covered by class B31.
  • In this class, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
    • "plastics" means macromolecular compounds or compositions based on such compounds.
  • In this class, the following rules apply:
    • The working of plastics is, as far as possible, classified primarily according to the particular shaping technique used, e.g. in subclass B29C.
    • Classification according to production of particular articles in subclass B29D is restricted to:
      • aspects which are characteristic for the production of a particular article, and not classifiable in subclass B29B or B29C;
      • combined operations for making the particular article which are not fully classifiable in subclass B29C.
    • Products per se are not classified in this class. However, if a product is characterised by the way it is produced and not by its structure or composition, the production method should be classified in this class.
  • The codes of subclass B29K are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclasses B29B, B29C, or B29D so as to provide information concerning moulding materials or materials for reinforcements, fillers or preformed parts, e.g. inserts.
  • The codes of subclass B29L are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclass B29C, so as to provide information concerning the articles produced by the techniques classified in subclass B29C.

SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING (making preforms B29B 11/00; making laminated products by combining previously unconnected layers which become one product whose layers will remain together B32B 37/00-B32B 41/00) [4]

Note(s) [2017.01]

  • This subclass covers:
  • This subclass does not cover:
    • working of plastics sheet material in a manner analogous to the working of paper, which is covered by class B31;
    • shaping of materials provided for elsewhere, e.g. of metal, clay or foodstuffs.
  • Attention is drawn to Note (3) following the title of class B29.
  • In this subclass:
    • repairing of articles made from plastics or material in a plastic state, e.g. of articles shaped or produced by using techniques covered by this subclass or subclass B29D, is classified in group B29C 73/00;
    • component parts, details, accessories or auxiliary operations which are applicable to more than one moulding technique are classified in groups B29C 31/00-B29C 37/00;
    • component parts, details, accessories or auxiliary operations which are only applicable or only of use for one specific shaping technique are classified only in the relevant subgroups of groups B29C 39/00-B29C 71/00.
  • In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclasses B29K and B29L.
