WebCPC CPC COOPERATIVE PATENT CLASSIFICATION

B23P OTHER WORKING OF METAL; COMBINED OPERATIONS; UNIVERSAL MACHINE TOOLS (arrangements for copying or controlling B23Q)

  NOTE - This subclass does not cover non-mechanical operations on non-metallic materials unless such operations are specially mentioned in this subclass.

  In this subclass, the following expressions are used with the meanings indicated:
  "combined operations" excludes the assembling of parts if it is an essential feature of the next metal-working operation, since it is not regarded as an operation per se.
  "working of metal" and equivalent expressions include non-mechanical treatment of metal so far as it is not provided for in any other class or subclass, for example in C21D, C22C, C22F, C23. Thus, combinations of such non-mechanical treatment with other metal-working are classified in this subclass.

  Attention is drawn to the Notes following the title of class B23.
