DEFINITION

Classification: 156/497

(under subclass 349) Apparatus having means directing work treating material in a gaseous or vaporous state into direct association with the work.

(1) Note. Devices for merely holding the workpiece in ambient air are excluded from this subclass. For such subject matter search the appropriate work manipulating subclass below.

(2) Note. The devices of this subclass must directly contact the workpiece with the gas or vapor, rather than for example, applying pressure through a flexible diaphragm.
