*****TBD*****

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Dispensers having (1) signals, indicators, registers, recorders or gauges for indicating a condition, or the position of a dispenser part such devices consisting of relatively movable changeable, or audible information giving parts, or (2) changeable indicia bearing or display devices which are operable by the movement of dispenser parts.

(1) Note. For classification in this subclass there must be either an indicia or audible signal of some type. Relative to visual indicia, there must be graduations or markings in the disclosure as claimed and, for display devices, some visual indication, sign or disposition of material (other than the source of supply). Where it is indicated that the mere position of a dispenser part is indicative of a condition of the dispenser, classification is in the appropriate subclass below unless some cooperating indicia are included. A mere transparent viewing means is not considered to be a signal, indicator or display device in the absence of indicia, and such dispensers are classified in subclass 155 of this class.

9	AUTOMATIC CONTROL:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers having means to sense a condition (or absence thereof) or a change of condition, which condition may or may not change, said means causing operation or control of a separate device for effecting a control function on the dispenser.

(1) Note. Machines which operate on a repeating cycle of operation are not considered to be "automatic" even though they are often so designated in the art, unless there are included means sensitive to conditions subject to change, from cycle to cycle, and separate means controlled thereby to effect a control function on the machine. Thus, a machine including means to sense condition changes which necessarily take place to the same degree at the same time in each cycle of operation are not included in this subclass.

(2) Note. Where the means responsive to condition change directly effect a control function, i.e., where the sensing and the control means are the same instrumentality, the device has been considered to be condition responsive rather than automatic in the sense intended in this and the indented subclasses. See subclasses 17+, 21, 22+, 107+, and 151+, for example.

15	WITH TIMING OR DELAY MECHANISM:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers having means which substantially limits or retards the period of operation of a discharging means or the period between successive operations of a discharging means to a predetermined time interval.

(1) Note. Devices in which the time for complete cycles of operation is predetermined solely by the speed at which the actuator for the discharging means is operated are excluded and are classified in appropriate subclasses below. However, the specific provision of structure having the disclosed function of causing a pause or retardation of motion during a portion of each cycle is included. The provision for lost motion in an actuating linkage is not considered to be delay mechanism within the meaning of this subclass definition, it being required for classification here that some structure other than the actuating linkage or mechanism itself be provided to cause and/or control a time delay in the operation of the device.

22	SUBSEQUENT ARTICLE SEPARATING MEANS ACTUATED BY ARTICLE REMOVAL:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers having article segregating means so associated with a supply source receptacle that the removal of a previously segregated article from the device is effective to activate the segregating means to act directly on the next available article in the supply receptacle to segregate it from the supply.

25	PROGRESSIVELY DESTROYED CELLULAR MAGAZINE-TYPE SUPPLY SOURCE:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers in which the source of supply of articles is a continuous carrying or conveying means which is in the form of a structure by which material is removably retained in or on such structure by individual compartment or holding means, such compartment or holding means being (a) a separate means affixed to the carrying or conveying means or (b) being formed in or by elements of the carrying or conveying means, and in which the carrying or means, in either case, is progressively demolished as by detachment of sections thereof, so that the detached sections of the compartment or carrying means with the contained material and/or separate means is dispensed as a discrete article.

(1) Note. Demolishment, in the sense in which it is used in this definition means complete destruction so that the cell structure cannot be reused. Examples of types elsewhere classified in this class in which the cell structure has relatively movable compartments which are removable to collapse the structure to release the articles are to be found in subclasses 70+ and 84+, and especially in subclasses 86 and 89+.

(2) Note. The demolishment must be by virtue of the action of or by cooperation with structure provided for the performance of such a function. Receptacle structure adapted to be destroyed solely by the application of manual force is classified in the appropriate receptacle art.

27	CAPTIVE ARTICLE TYPE:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers in which the articles are retained in position on an element of the supply container or on a support associated therewith so that they cannot be separated therefor, the articles being removed from the supply source or receptacle, used and left in an attached state, in the normal use of the device.

(1) Note. It is considered that removability of an entire supply source or stack with or from the element to which the articles are attached for replacing stacks of used articles is a normal incident to the subject matter of this subclass and does not preclude classification herein.

(2) Note. This subclass is not intended to take devices which hold captive only a part of an article, allowing a portion to be removed (as the contents of a captive receptacle). The entire article must be made available for use and remain attached to the supply source. Devices for feeding captive bottles, opening and dumping them are classified in Class 312, in subclasses 35 and 36.

229,	Envelopes, Wrappers, and Paperboard Boxes, subclasses 200+ for severing means for opening a paperboard box.

33	CONCURRENT SEPARATION AND DISTORTION OF FLEXIBLE ARTICLE (E.G., NAPKIN HOLDERS):

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers for dispensing articles, which by nature are capable of changing shape and having means effective to cause a change in the shape of such articles simultaneously with the segregation thereof from a supply source.

(1) Note. Many devices which are disclosed for dispensing articles which by nature are deformable are in fact of such structure as to be equally well adapted to dispense rigid articles. Patents are not placed in this and the indented subclasses unless the mode of operation of the claimed structure is such that the deformation of the dispensed article must occur as an incident to separation from the supply.

Where the package is a complete dispenser, i.e., has a covering embodying a dispensing outlet, or has a discharge assistant, etc. and an outer casing or support for such a package is claimed classification is in subclass 46 of this class. Where the package outer wrapper has dispensing features so that the package may be used as a dispenser without the use of other structure, classification is based on the nature of the dispensing combination so formed.

(3) Note. Where the outer holder, casing, or wrapper of a "prearranged" stack is a removable part of a dispenser organization which must be taken out, refilled and replaced, the filled part is not considered to be a refill package, but is merely a removable supply magazine. See subclass 46.

Article dispensers (1) claimed in combination with features other than the supply container structure, the casing or support therefor, and discharge assisting or controlling means and not provided for in other classes or in preceding subclasses of this class; or (2) having means or parts capable of structural rearrangement or modification to selectively provide either a dispenser of some other kind or a device of some other description.

(1) Note. This class is residual as to combinations of article dispensers and subject matter classifiable in other classes and takes such combinations only when such other classes do not provide for them. Examples of such combinations which are included in this subclass are; capped bottle dispensers with bottle uncapping means and straw delivery to the said bottle, substance penetrating and capsule feeding, dispensers with lubricating means, dispensers combined with a tray (such tray not qualifying as a second compartment), dispensers with fixed nondispenser operated display means, dispensers combined with article cleaning (e.g., air draft) means, and dispensers combined with certain art devices which serve as supports or means for mounting such dispensers.

200	WITH MEANS TO AGITATE, VIBRATE OR JAR ARTICLES IN SUPPLY CONTAINER:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers having means to shake or stir either the supply container or the articles therein to impart either a small or large amplitude of motion to the articles relative to one another for the purpose of facilitating passage of the articles towards the discharge means.

(1) Note. The agitating means must be means other than a discharge assisting means. Thus, a dispenser having an element which applies an affirmative force to segregate articles from a supply container and which is so constructed that it inherently agitates articles in the supply container and does not have any structural addition or modification to perform an agitating function, is classified in the appropriate subclass under subclasses 208+. See for example, subclass 254 in which are classified dispensers having discharge assistants movable through hoppers to elevate articles, such discharge assistants having an inherent incidental agitating function.

208	WITH DISCHARGE ASSISTANT:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Article dispensers having means to affirmatively segregate, separate or move the articles from a supply source toward a point of egress.

(1) Note. The weight of the articles, alone, is not considered as an affirmative means for this and the indented subclasses. The application of a force other than gravity tending to move an article or articles relative to other articles to effect a segregation or separation is necessary.

(2) Note. Where an element applying a force to segregate articles has an agitating function as an incident thereof and has combined therewith some other discharge assisting means classification is in subclasses 200+. See also the note to the definition of subclass 200.

(3) Note. Included in this group (see subclass 246 as an exception to the requirement that an affirmative force be applied to the article to effect segregation) are devices in which the sliding movement of the cover of a supply receptacle effects segregation of an article from the remainder of the supply, but does not necessarily affirmatively move any of the the articles.
