DEFINITION

Classification: 156/571

(under subclass 570) Apparatus in which the means separating the articles from the bulk source has motion about an axis of revolution during the separation of the article from the source and bodily transports the article during separation.

(1) Note. A picker must grasp or be secured in some way to the article it is transporting, such as by clamping, adhesion, impaling, etc.. Thus a device merely pushing an element off a pile would not be a picker.
