SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS

SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR

AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING making preforms B29B11/00; making laminated products by combining previously unconnected layers which become one product whose layers will remain together B32B37/00 - B32B41/00

This subclass covers:

shaping or joining of plastics;

shaping of material in a plastic state when a specific material is not identified;

shaping of material in a plastic state, not otherwise provided for.

This subclass does not cover:

working of plastics sheet material in a manner analogous to the working of paper, which is covered by class B31;

shaping of materials provided for elsewhere, e.g. of metal, clay or foodstuffs.

Attention is drawn to Note (3) following the title of class B29.

In this subclass:

repairing of articles made from plastics or materials in a plastic state, e.g. of articles shaped or produced by using techniques covered by this subclass or subclass B29D, is classified in group B29C73/00;

component parts, details, accessories or auxiliary operations which are applicable to more than one moulding technique are classified in groups B29C31/00 - B29C37/00;

component parts, details, accessories or auxiliary operations which are only applicable or only of use for one specific shaping technique are classified only in the relevant subgroups of groups B29C39/00-B29C71/00.

In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclasses B29K and B29L.

In this subclass non-limiting references (in the sense of paragraph 39 of the Guide to the IPC) may still be displayed in the scheme.
