.~ Cooperating with movably mounted supply container
DEFINITION
Classification: 221/209
(under subclass 208) Devices in which the supply source is mounted upon a support for motion relative thereto and for positioning or alignment relative to the discharge assistant whereby the supply as a whole may be selectively positioned with respect to or advanced toward the discharge assistant to place the supply of articles, or a portion thereof, in the operative path of the discharge assistant.
(1) Note. Substantially all of the articles and the immediate confining means move as a unit relative to the discharge, the supply quantity being substantially determinate and varied only by the number of articles dispensed.
