DEFINITION

Classification: 493/84

Assembling of distinct members:

(under subclass 52) Method or apparatus including juxtaposing or fastening together a plurality of workpieces.

(1) Note. The workpieces of this and the indented subclasses are totally separate and distinct. A first and a second surface of a single workpiece are not considered to be separate workpieces, no matter how far spaced from each other.

(2) Note. A fastener, e.g., a staple or a rivet, is considered to be a workpiece when assembled to a paper workpiece; however, see the search note to Class 227 below.
