DEFINITION

Classification: 198/355

(under subclass 349) Apparatus wherein the means containing the operating instructions includes a movable member which coacts with an electric circuit to energize the circuit for effecting delivery of the conveyed load to a selected destination.

(1) Note. The term switch as used herein includes any circuit completing device, some of which need not be physically contacted by the switch actuator, as for example, a photocell and repositionable reflector. Also the switch actuator is generally an element mounted on or carried by some part of the conveying structure and is movable or repositionable relative to the part carrying it and is not merely the load units themselves. Thus, a counter which merely responds to the passage of a predetermined number of load units will not be found herein.
