I know of no code that lists what procedures a batter must go through to request time. Plain and simply, if a player requests time and an umpire grants it, then you have time until such a point as the umpires beckons to the pitcher or says "play." (or both)
I think you are tilting at windmills pfsears. I don't believe that you will find how a batter holds up their hand in requesting time codified anywhere.
