B27M WORKING OF WOOD NOT PROVIDED FOR IN SUBCLASSES B27B - B27L; MANUFACTURE OF SPECIFIC WOODEN ARTICLES
Introduced: September 1968
Description
B27M covers woodworking processes and manufacturing methods for specific wooden articles not classified elsewhere in the B27 wood-working section. This subclass encompasses diverse production techniques such as wood bending, lamination, assembly methods, and finishing processes for particular end products (e.g., furniture components, sporting goods, decorative items). It serves as a catch-all category for novel or specialized wood manufacturing applications that fall outside the scope of more specific subclasses dealing with sawing (B27D), machining (B27F), or surface treatment (B27K).
