SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

This class provides for (a) an article comprising an upperbody* and an underbody* for simultaneously receiving indicia on the upperbody and the underbody as a member produces that indicia on the upperbody; and (b) a method of or apparatus for simultaneously producing indicia on the upperbody and underbody of such an article.

(1) Note. An asterisk (*) in these definitions denotes a term defined in the glossary for this class.
(2) Note. The term "body" includes a sheet in the form of a strip*, a leaf*, a book* or any other article subject to a process or apparatus of this class.
(3) Note. The indicia impressed on the upperbody may be visibly produced on the upperbody, or alternatively the upperbody may remain visibly blank.
(4) Note. There may be more than one underbody to which indicia is transferred.
(5) Note. Either or both of the bodies may be flexible.
(6) Note. The indicia generally comprises a written character. SCOPE OF THE CLASS Included in this class is a manifold, (i.e., an article comprising superposed bodies on which indicia is to be simultaneously produced) which may include (1) a transfer means interposed between the bodies such that a pigmented delineation of an impression* on the upper-body* will be made on a surface of the under-body*, (2) a transfer means comprising a coating on one of the bodies or (3) a component of one of the bodies which causes an image to be visible thereon after being subjected to pressure. Also included in this class is an apparatus particularly adapted to support a manifold as indicia is produced on the upper-body thereof such that a similar indicia is produced on the under-body. The corresponding method of simultaneously producing an image on the upper-body and the under-body of a manifold is also included in the scope of this class. In many instances, claimed subject matter includes manifolding articles in the form of strips*, books* and leaves* as well as such articles combined with apparatus such as feeding members, platens, storage means and holders. A substantial number of subclasses involve collections of such cooperating or "external" apparatus with particular manifolding articles.
(1) Note. In this class, a patent is placed in a subclass based on the configuration of the manifold prior to the image producing operation.

SECTION III - GLOSSARY

Terms or phrases used in titles and definitions either repeatedly or in a special and limited sense are set forth below with the meaning each is to have in this class. For economy of space, an asterisk (*) following a word indicates that reference should be made to this glossary for the specific meaning thereof.
