Descriptions for F04B and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:[7,2009.01]
      "piston" also covers a plunger.
    Attention is drawn to the Notes following the titles of class B81 and subclass B81Brelating to "microstructural devices" and "microstructural systems".Attention is drawn to the Notes preceding class F01, especially as regards the definitions of "machines", "pumps", and "positive-displacement".Machines, pumps or pumping installations having flexible working members are classified in groups F04B 43/00—or F04B 45/00.
