DEFINITION

Classification: 69/35

(under subclass 33) Apparatus in which the hide, skin or leather is folded upon itself, grain side inward, the fold is then passed over the hide, skin or leather.

(1) Note. In most of the patents, pressure is applied to the leather at the fold, the purpose being to alter the appearance of the grain side of the leather commonly known as "boarding".

(2) Note. The distinction between the subject matter of this subclass and that of subclass 34 is that the apparatus of subclass 34 includes a sharp edge over which the hide, skin or leather is folded, whereas in this subclass the hide, skin or leather is folded upon itself.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
