DEFINITION

Classification: 198/418.1

Having items discharged from plural distinct outlets into group:

(under subclass 418) Apparatus in which either (1) a single conveyor section having two or more separate exits or (2) plural conveyor sections each having a separate exit deliver articles to another conveyor section on which the articles are arranged or formed into a common group.

(1) Note. The definition does not limit the taking of only one article from each of the exits. Rather, it permits the taking of one or more articles from any two or more exits even if one or more possible exits are skipped. The articles can be supplied from a random mass, a regular stack, or succession of articles.
