DEFINITION

Classification: 100/232

(under subclass 214) Apparatus having three or more pressure surfaces at least two of which are movable along paths in different directions and which act either simultaneously to co-compress the same material or sequentially so that one moving platen recompresses material compressed and held compressed by another moving platen.

(1) Note. This subclass includes wool press tables which have upwardly swinging hinged ledge leaves as one pair of platens. For such devices in which the leaves have means to carry with them a binder card, search this class, subclass 16.
