(under the class definition) Article dispensers in which the articles are retained in position on an element of the supply container or on a support associated therewith so that they cannot be separated therefor, the articles being removed from the supply source or receptacle, used and left in an attached state, in the normal use of the device.
(1) Note. It is considered that removability of an entire supply source or stack with or from the element to which the articles are attached for replacing stacks of used articles is a normal incident to the subject matter of this subclass and does not preclude classification herein.
(2) Note. This subclass is not intended to take devices which hold captive only a part of an article, allowing a portion to be removed (as the contents of a captive receptacle). The entire article must be made available for use and remain attached to the supply source. Devices for feeding captive bottles, opening and dumping them are classified in Class 312, in subclasses 35 and 36.
