DEFINITION
Classification: 221/199
(under the class definition) Article dispensers (1) claimed in combination with features other than the supply container structure, the casing or support therefor, and discharge assisting or controlling means and not provided for in other classes or in preceding subclasses of this class; or (2) having means or parts capable of structural rearrangement or modification to selectively provide either a dispenser of some other kind or a device of some other description.
(1) Note. This class is residual as to combinations of article dispensers and subject matter classifiable in other classes and takes such combinations only when such other classes do not provide for them. Examples of such combinations which are included in this subclass are; capped bottle dispensers with bottle uncapping means and straw delivery to the said bottle, substance penetrating and capsule feeding, dispensers with lubricating means, dispensers combined with a tray (such tray not qualifying as a second compartment), dispensers with fixed nondispenser
operated display means, dispensers combined with article cleaning (e.g., air draft) means, and dispensers combined with certain art devices which serve as supports or means for mounting such dispensers. SeeRefernces to Other Classes of the class definition of this class for a listing of other classes which provide for article treating and modifying combinations which include article dispensing and note also a listing of classes having related material handling combinations.
