DEFINITION

Classification: 198/532

(under subclass 530) Apparatus wherein the element is located adjacent the discharge opening of a gravity discharge material holder. While such an opening often is located in a horizontal plane, and therefore has a vertical discharge path, the opening can be any one from which the discharge path is at least as nearly vertical as it is horizontal.

(1) Note. The element may be located in a spout (i.e., a gravity flow path) which is attached to the holder and depends from the discharge opening thereof.

531, for a gate under this heading which may be of the type found in this subclass (532), but wherein its operation is coordinated with that of a power-driven section.
