16.5.~ Splitting sole


DEFINITION

Classification: 12/16.5

(under subclass 16.1) Machines for cutting a sole edgewise from the heel for a part of the length of the sole to form a flap portion of nonuniform thickness.

(1) Note. Machines for splitting in like manner but to uniform thickness are to be found in Class 69, Leather Manufactures, subclasses 9+. The machines here (Class 12, subclass 16.5) classified include structure for producing a varying thickness of flap.

(2) Note. The operation of this subclass is usually performed on the sole prior to the attachment of the sole to the shoe.

(3) Note. Cross-reference is made to the skiving and splitting machine structural subclasses of Class 69, Leather Manufactures, subclasses 9+ where appropriate.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

17+, for general sole splitting to form layers of nonuniform thickness.
