DEFINITION

Classification: 72/323

Plural die surface portions and co-acting tools:

(under subclass 322) Subject matter utilizing two or more work-shape-imparting areas extending from clamp jaw structure, and a relatively movable tool associated with each area and effective to force work against its associated shape-imparting area at some time during an operation of the class type.

(1) Note. A device of this type is commonly used to bend the two end portions of a centrally clamped rod or bar into U-shaped form against cheeks on the clamp jaws.
