DEFINITION

Classification: 53/203

(under the class definition) Apparatus by which a flexible or foldable cover material is bent, with or without creasing, around the contents to encase it.

(1) Note. This apparatus shapes the cover material into contents retaining form subsequent to the bringing together of contents and cover material. For apparatus which shapes the cover material to contents retaining form prior to association of contents therewith see this class, subclasses 558+.

(2) Note. This apparatus shapes the cover material so as to completely enclose the contents therein. For apparatus which shapes the cover material around the contents in such manner as to leave the contents exposed, see this class subclasses 580+.

(3) Note. Shaping a closure into engagement or conformity

with a portion of a preformed receptacle is not considered wrapping for this and indented subclasses. Such apparatus will be found in subclasses 285+.
