(under subclass 142.1) Dispensers in which the supply compartments are containers mounted upon a common base or within a common casing from which they all may be separated either together as a unit or individually.
(1) Note. This subclass does not include dispensers having plural containers in which one container supports another separably but there is no base or casing from which both are removable. The inner container in the subject matter of subclass 142.5, for example, is frequently supported by and separable from the outer coaxial container.
(2) Note. Each of the containers continues to be a container after removal from the common base or casing, i.e., each still has a bottom and sidewalls.
