DEFINITION

Classification: 222/252

(under subclass 251) Dispensers having at least two distinct discharge assistants claimed in combination.

(1) Note. The plurality may be arranged in series and/or in parallel. One may be an arrangement to apply fluid under

pressure directly to the material to be dispensed to cause dispensing.

(2) Note. Plural elements which act together as a single discharge assistant have been so treated (as plural vanes or blades, plural screws, plural movable sequentially operable traps, etc.) but where pumps or pulsators have plural chambers, each chamber having a forcing device therein, the structure has been treated as plural and not as a single pump or pulsator with plural cylinders.
