DIFF Subclass Not Allocatable
B23G

THREAD CUTTING; WORKING OF SCREWS, BOLT HEADS, OR NUTS, IN CONJUNCTION THEREWITH (making helical grooves by turning B23B5/48, by milling B23C3/32, by forging, pressing, or hammering B21K1/56, by grinding B24B19/02; arrangements for copying or controlling B23Q; thread-forming by corrugating tubes B21D15/04, by rolling B21H3/02)

Introduced: September 1968

Description

This subclass encompasses machines, tools, and processes for cutting external and internal threads on workpieces, as well as forming, shaping, and finishing operations on screws, bolts, bolt heads, and nuts during or following thread production. Covered technologies include thread-cutting machines (lathes, threading machines, tapping machines), cutting tools (thread dies, taps, cutting inserts), and automated systems for complete screw and fastener manufacturing. The classification also includes associated operations such as head forming, slot cutting, chamfering, and deburring when performed as integral steps in screw or bolt production.
