DEFINITION

Classification: 141/271

(under subclass 250) Filling apparatus provided with means which pivotally supports a receiver and includes means for moving the support relative to its pivot to move the said receiver to, from or during the flow relation.

(1) Note. This subclass is not intended to take simple pivoting supports in the absence of means to cause the swinging of the support. See the search this class, subclass notes below for mere pivoted support means without means to cause movement, i.e., (a mounting means which merely permits swinging movement).

(2) Note. Simple swinging movement or pivotal movement for moving the support and the receiver into flow relation or from flow relation, that is to say where there is relative movement between the receiver support and the filling means, is here classified, even in the absence of additional means to cause movement of the receiver and support relative to the filling means.

(3) Note. The movement of the receiver must be more than mere simultaneous coupling and valve operating movement. See the search notes below for flow controls operated by moving the receiver during coupling of the supply and receiver.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

113, for receivers filled through bottom or while inverted. 304, for plural diverse passage filling heads with swingable nozzle operated valves. See (3) Note.

351, for receiver actuated discharge means where coupling or pressure applied by manual or unclaimed means controls flow. See (3) Note.

377, for filling arrangements in which the supporting means permits pivotal movement of the receiver while being so supported. See (1) Note.
