DEFINITION

Classification: 239/342

(under subclass 340) Apparatus provided with means whereby the liquid outlet tube is at all times submerged within the liquid for all positions of the device as by (1) an auxiliary

collecting chamber for the liquid, (2) a pivoted or swivel connection between sections of the liquid outlet tube, (3) by a plurality of openings into the liquid outlet tube, or (4) a flexible liquid outlet tube which always dips into the liquid supply.

(1) Note. The difference between this subclass and subclass 350 is if the trap chamber is arranged to provide an all position spray device (nonattitude affected) by trapping a quantity of liquid around the inlet to the eduction tube and spraying occurs in a position which would not normally occur in the absence of the trap chamber, then the patent is in subclass 342. If the aspiration can only occur by first filling a chamber with the liquid by movement of the receptacle to other than normal spray position and thereafter returning it to normal spray position whereby all of the trapped liquid is discharged, classification is in subclass 350.
