SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

This class includes a method or an apparatus for intertwining one or more portions of a cord, strand or strip, while simultaneously maintaining the lay of the constituents, to form a knot, and the product of such method or apparatus.

SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS

Tools of the nature of pliers, tweezers, crochet-hooks, etc., capable of other uses, but which may be employed to form knots if desired, are otherwise classified. Pliers are found in Class 81, Tools, subclasses 300+; tweezers in Class 294, Handling: Hand and Hoist-Line Implements, subclass 99.2; crochet-hooks in Class 66, Textiles: Knitting, subclass 118.
