DEFINITION

Classification: 239/266

(under the class definition) Apparatus comprising a plurality of separate members, each having an outlet aperture and, in addition, connected end to end so that fluid may flow through them successively while a portion discharges through each of the outlet apertures.

(1) Note. Included in these subclasses are terminal outlet means carried by collar-like coupling means having the necessary securing means whereby adjoining sections of conduit can be attached.

(2) Note. Readily manipulable terminal members particularly those with a branched and/or closed flow line circuit with spaced outlet means have been excluded from this group where the concept of through-flow and joinable sections is absent.

(3) Note. If the section of conduit has no other outlet than the spraying apertures particularly if the discharge member be of such size and shape as necessitates its manipulation as a mere hand held distributor it is classified in the appropriate subclasses in the lower levels of the class.
