DEFINITION

Classification: 198/495

(under subclass 494) Apparatus wherein the means for removing the unwanted material includes means for contacting the section with a fluid.

(1) Note. Examples of structures to be found herein are a) fluid spraying nozzles which impinge the section with a stream liquid or gas to remove undesired material therefrom, as opposed to impinging means for discharging the load from the conveying section, b) vacuum applying means relying on the sweeping action of a stream of atmospheric gas, e.g., air, or c) tanks into which the section dips, or which carry liquid transferring means which, in turn, contact the section.
