D06G MECHANICAL OR PRESSURE CLEANING OF CARPETS, RUGS, SACKS, HIDES, OR OTHER SKIN OR TEXTILE ARTICLES OR FABRICS; TURNING INSIDE-OUT FLEXIBLE TUBULAR OR OTHER HOLLOW ARTICLES
Introduced: September 1968
Description
This subclass covers machines and methods for cleaning textile products, carpets, rugs, sacks, hides, and similar flexible materials through mechanical action or fluid pressure rather than chemical treatment. It includes equipment for beating, brushing, rubbing, or spraying these articles to remove dirt, dust, and contaminants. The subclass also encompasses apparatus for turning inside-out flexible tubular articles (such as stockings or gloves) and hollow textile structures, a specialized mechanical operation distinct from conventional cleaning processes.
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.
1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
