DEFINITION

Classification: 222/196

(under the class definition) Dispensers having means either to jar the container and/or to cause some part of the container (including its outlet agitator or other discharge assistant adjacent its outlet) to vibrate, i.e., to move in reciprocations or oscillations of such small amplitude that the effect is to accelerate gravity flow rather than to move the material bodily toward or through the discharge outlet.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

161, for supply containers mounted for vibrating, i.e., small amplitude, motion as distinguished from having a wall or wall portion mounted for such motion relative to other walls or wall portions, causing a wall or wall portion to jar or vibrate due to its resilience or flexibility and/or have an agitator or other discharge assistant or trap chamber have small amplitude vibratory motion.

206+, for resilient wall dispensers designed for flexing the resilient wall to cause the dispensing operation, no jarring or vibrating means being provided.

226+, for agitators removed from the outlet and followed (in the direction of material flow) by other discharge assistants, even though the agitator has movements of small amplitude, unless the agitator and/or the following discharge assistant is the container wall or part thereof with means to cause small amplitude movement, for which see subclasses 196+

275, and 409, for agitators and other discharge assistants having reciprocating motions, not mere vibrations.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 34, Drying and Gas or Vapor Contact With Solids,

164, for those having treated material vibrating means.

164, Metal Founding,

203+, for sand mold forming apparatus employing a vibrating means for compacting the sand.

198, Conveyors: Power-Driven,

533, for a chute or other gravity conveyor that is vibrated and subclasses 521, 594+, 609, and 752.1 for a vibratory conveyor.

209, Classifying, Separating, and Assorting Solids, appropriate subclasses, particularly the impact or jarring subclasses under sifters (330, 334, 336, 338, 340, 343, 345, 347, 349, and 381+).

221, Article Dispensing,

163+, for article dispensers including orienting and in which means to selectively separate properly oriented articles from a source of supply involves agitation of the articles in the source; subclasses 175+ for article dispensers having stack forming means, and in many of which agitating serves to assist discharge of articles from a hopper to a stacking outlet; and subclasses 200+ for article dispensers in general having means to shake or stir the supply container or the articles for agitating purposes.

366, Agitating,

39, for skip feeds for mortar mixers having jarring or vibrating means.
