(under the class definition) Devices, commonly called wringers, comprising mechanical means for pressing or otherwise removing liquid from treated material, especially as an adjunct to apparatus of this class.
(1) Note. This subclass is the generic place for stripping liquid from a strand by drawing it past a corner or edge.

15, Brushing, Scrubbing, and General Cleaning,
102, for wiping machines for nontextile sheets, bars and plates; subclasses 236.01+ for miscellaneous hand scrapers; subclass 256.6 for scraper, wiper or brush attachments for cleaning a moving strand, the device being attached to a structure of which the moving strand is a part; and subclasses 260+ for wringer devices adapted to be attached to a pail to wring out mops.
34, Drying and Gas or Vapor Contact With Solids, for drying by heat and/or gas or vapor contact, and especially
397+, for processes for removal of liquids from solids mechanically; subclasses 69+ for apparatus for drying having diverse types of drying means, including one mechanical means, especially subclass 70 for devices in which the mechanical means is a wringer; and subclasses 618+ for drying mechanism for flexible strands. 100, Presses, appropriate subclasses for presses not elsewhere provided for, particularly
73+, for presses having means to add liquid or steam to the material, subclasses 104+ for presses equipped with drain means for expressed liquid, and subclass 153 for presses in which an endless conveyor coacts with a roll element, and subclasses 155+ for roller type concurrent conveying compressors.
118, Coating apparatus,
100+, for apparatus having solid members acting on the coated work, and especially subclasses 114+ where the solid members are opposed rollers.
242, Winding, Tensioning, or Guiding,
548+, 566+, 615+, and 157+ for a guide associated with winding, unwinding or in general use for an elongated, running material.
