(under the class definition) Article dispensers in which the source of supply of articles is a continuous carrying or conveying means which is in the form of a structure by which material is removably retained in or on such structure by individual compartment or holding means, such compartment or holding means being (a) a separate means affixed to the carrying or conveying means or (b) being formed in or by elements of the carrying or conveying means, and in which the carrying or means, in either case, is progressively demolished as by detachment of sections thereof, so that the detached sections of the compartment or carrying means with the contained material and/or separate means is dispensed as a discrete article.
(1) Note. Demolishment, in the sense in which it is used in this definition means complete destruction so that the cell structure cannot be reused. Examples of types elsewhere classified in this class in which the cell structure has relatively movable compartments which are removable to collapse the structure to release the articles are to be found in subclasses 70+ and 84+, and especially in subclasses 86 and 89+.
(2) Note. The demolishment must be by virtue of the action of or by cooperation with structure provided for the performance of such a function. Receptacle structure adapted to be destroyed solely by the application of manual force is classified in the appropriate receptacle art.
