(under subclass 314) Subject matter which includes a plurality of like type contained charges, each having ends and means at each end of every contained charge to hold one end of another contained charge in a series arrangement.
(1) Note. The individual contained charges themselves may (a) incorporate the means to hold the plurality of contained charges in series, or (b) the means may be entirely separate
from the contained cartridges, or (c) structure on each of the contained charges may cooperate with additional structure separate from the contained charges to hold the charges end to end.
(2) Note. In name only, contained charges or the container, per se, claiming only the details to hold the contained charges end to end are in this subclass rather than subclass 331.
(3) Note. A claimed single blasting charge container designed to join end to end similar charged container is in this subclass.
(4) Note. A booster charge in one of the charged containers joined at its end to an end of a similar charged container having a main charge is in this subclass.
