196.1

. Hand manipulable shaker type:

This subclass is indented under subclass 196. Dispensers adapted to be supported in the hand and shaken to cause material to move through the outlet and having an inertia-operated movable part associated with the supply container for shifting movement when the container is shaken, whereby jarring results from the impact of the inertia operated member on the material or container and the material is loosened, shifted, dragged or impelled through the outlet.

(1) Note. See class definition, Lines With Other Classes and Within This Class, Hand Manipulable Shakers.

(2) Note. The movable element may be a discharge controller or closure, or a discharge assistant, the latter term including devices analogous to agitators or grinding bodies but not falling within the definitions of Classes 241 and 366. Mere motion of the material as a result of shaking is not considered a jarring element.

(3) Note. Since many manually movable elements are capable of shifting by inertia on movement of the dispenser, only those designed and constructed solely for this mode of operation and having no manual actuating means in connection with the movable element have been placed here.

(4) Note. Discharge assistants of the movable trap chamber type and stationary trap type dispensers have not been included, since the presence of the measuring function is inconsistent with the mode of operation characteristic of this group.

Hand manipulable shakers in which an inertia-operated movable element is mounted or formed for limited movement within the supply container so that its primary effect is to jar the dispenser, or loosen or shift the material by impact thereon, and any resultant crushing of the material between the movable element and the container walls is incidental, being prevented by the restrictions on the movement of the inertia-operated element.

344	. Movable or conveyer-type trap chamber:

This subclass is indented under subclass 251. Dispensers having a chamber so constructed and related to the supply as to receive material therefrom, which chamber is movable mounted relative to the supply. The material in the trap chamber is isolated from the supply either by the relative movement of the supply and trap chambers or by special means as flow controllers, closures, etc.

(1) Note. A conveyor type trap chamber functions to convey (translate) the material from the inlet from the supply to a spaced outlet while some are movable chambers which, when moved to one position, permit material flow thereinto from the supply and in a second position cut off the supply and permit discharge. The isolation of material must be accompanied by the motion of the trap chamber relative to the supply, and the trapped material must be either discharged or made accessible for use. The isolation may be accomplished by the travel of the trap chamber beyond a wall of a casing or supply container, by removal beyond the point where the angle of repose of the material in the supply is established, preventing further flow into the trap chamber, or by raising the chamber above the level of the material in the supply container.

(2) Note. Many conveyor type or movable trap chambers are provided for in preceding subclasses in other combinations, some of these being specially noted below.

(3) Note. Movable trap chamber structures (designated as segregating chambers) may be found in Class 221, Article Dispensing. In many instances the structure and mode of operation is entirely similar. A statement of the line between the classes, outlining the specific disposition of the art, is included in Lines With Other Classes and Within This Class, in the Class definition of Class 221.
