DEFINITION

Classification: 198/527

(under subclass 526) Apparatus wherein the moving means comprises a power-driven conveyor section.

(1) Note. The coordinated movement of the power-driven sections is sometimes utilized to control the duration of flow (e.g., gating), or to accomplish delivery from one to the other in a particular manner (e.g., with reduced shock, with less friction-developing speed differential, etc.).

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

531, for a reciprocating, load-supporting element which, while sometimes identified as a "carrier", and which may be spaced below the gravity sections, function more in the nature of a gate than a power-driven conveyor section.
