DEFINITION

Classification: 239/543

(under the class definition) Apparatus having two or more outlet means so arranged as to cause one of the resulting fluid streams to intersect with the other so that combining takes place at or beyond the outlet means.

(1) Note. This locus is residual for the dividing and recombining of a single fluid wherein the recombining takes

place at or beyond the terminus. For upstream dividing and recombining see particularly the art concerned with the whirling of fluids.

31, for bubble cups or drinking fountains having converging jets.

306, for plural holders for diverse materials with mixing beyond the outlet.

314+, for mixing exteriorly of liquid flow paths of material to be mixed, dissolved or entrained in a flowing liquid stream. 379, for supply holders for material with gravity flow to a conveying fluid.

418, for combining of separately supplied fluid streams at or beyond the terminus.

461+, particularly subclasses 498, 500+ and 504, for plural streams caused to converge beyond the outlet means by specially arranged or shaped deflectors.

536, for plural heads unitarily arranged which may be set to cause convergence of the emitted fluid streams.

548+, for unitary plural outlet means.
