DEFINITION

Classification: 156/59

(under subclass 1) Processes for making reproductions of three dimensional objects, which reproductions simulate the original object in appearance but not in function, and are shaped to approximate the contours of the objects, but not the full depth or front to back dimension.

(1) Note. The articles produced for this subclass are shaped for representation on the facing surface only. Thus the reproduction effect is apparent when the article is viewed from a single plane only.

(2) Note. Where the manufacturing operations are, per se, classified in some other class, the patent is there classified even though the article may be a representation. Thus, for example, Class 264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Processes, in appropriate subclasses provides for the shaping or molding of plastic materials to make reproductions, etc..

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

58, for processes involving the taking of photographs of three dimensional objects and the employment of said photographs to make reproductions of the objects.

196+, for processes of laminating combined with processes of permanently bending, reshaping or embossing of self-sustaining lamina.

250+, for processes of laminating combined with cutting. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

8, Bleaching and Dyeing; Fluid Treatment and Chemical Modification of Textiles and Fibers, appropriate subclasses for producing dyed designs on textiles and

114+, for processes for producing ornamental effects on textile materials there provided for.

29, Metal Working, for miscellaneous processes of mechanical manufacture which may result in the production of a representation. With respect to representation making, the line with Class 29 is as follows: Class 29 takes combined processes including metal working steps where no laminating is recited in the claims. Where adhesive bonding is present the line is that set out between the two classes in section "A. Bonding And/Or Assembly Therefor, " above in the class definition of Class 156.

33, Geometrical Instruments,

2+, for processes for laying out patterns for apparel making.

40, Card, Picture, or Sign Exhibiting,

616, for relief or intaglio signs.

43, Fishing, Trapping, and Vermin Destroying,

42.53, for processes for making artificial bait.

65, Glass Manufacturing, 66+, for a process of forming an article from molten glass.

69, Leather Manufactures, appropriate subclasses for processes for finishing cloth to produce ornamental effects and

21+, for leather working processes there provided for.

82, Turning,

11+, and 18+ for pattern controlled turning operations.

83, Cutting, appropriate subclasses for cutting operations, per se.

101, Printing,

32, for embossing processes.

125, Stone Working, appropriate subclasses for working stone there provided for.

144, Woodworking,

329+, for a method of woodworking to produce relief or intaglio representations, particularly subclass 358 for a method of embossing wood.

164, Metal Founding, appropriate subclasses for procuring reproductions by casting metal.

199, Type Casting, appropriate subclasses for type casting.

205, Electrolysis: Processes, Compositions Used Therein, and Methods of Preparing the Compositions, appropriate subclasses especially

67+, and 120+ for electrolytic methods of producing relief and intaglio surfaces.

264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Processes, appropriate subclasses, for processes within the class definitions, for shaping or molding plastic materials, per se, see particularly

220+,.

409, Gear Cutting, Milling, or Planing, appropriate subclasses for a pattern controlled milling, broaching, or planing operation; particularly

79+, and 289+.

428, Stock Material or Miscellaneous Articles,

15+, for an article, in the form of a three-dimensional imitation or treated natural product (e.g., fauna or flora).

433, Dentistry,

213, for a wax modeling in dentistry processes. 434, Education and Demonstration,

81+, for processes for drawing, painting or sculpturing processes in which some aid, or guide is provided for the artisan.

451, Abrading, for an abrading process for producing an ornamental effect.
