DEFINITION

Classification: 221/22

(under the class definition) Article dispensers having article segregating means so associated with a supply source receptacle that the removal of a previously segregated article from the device is effective to activate the segregating means to act directly on the next available article in the supply receptacle to segregate it from the supply.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

38, and 47+, for dispensers in which interleaved flexible articles are concurrently separated and distorted and in which by virtue of the interleaving, the leading fold of a subsequent article is pulled from the supply receptacle by movement of the first article.

66, for devices in which article delivery is dependent upon the insertion of a replacement article. These patents are distinguished from the patents in this subclasses 22+ in that the former do not have segregating means (other than, or in addition to the articles themselves) which act on the second article as the first article is removed.
