DEFINITION

Classification: 209/665

Gauging passage between elements of orbiting belt:

(under subclass 660) Methods and apparatus wherein said passage is situated between elements of an orbiting belt, e.g., rollers extending transversely of such a belt.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

622+, for a belt having elements, such as transverse bars, which move away from one another as the belt travels to provide expanding gauging passages through which items of different size pass at different points along the orbital path of said belt.

659, for a belt formed of plural elements (e.g., rings) each of which alone provides a gauge opening but is not like a wall in structural form.

681, for an apron-type belt having a gauging aperture in the wall thereof.
