DEFINITION

Classification: 221/170

(under subclass 169) Devices, in which the shaped egress openings are formed by pins or applied projections carried by or opposed to a rotary member. The pins may be more closely spaced than the width of the articles being handled, with one pin entering in a cavity of the article as it passes between the pins on either side.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

166, for pins which pick up and carry a cupped or hollowed article by entering the depression therein and thus carry only properly oriented articles to the exit.
