.~ Ambulant container and laterally extending scatterer
DEFINITION
Classification: 239/664
(under subclass 650) Apparatus which is intended to be used by traversing a surface, comprising an elongated strewing means extending in the direction of its length outwardly from the supply holder when looked at in plain view, the longitudinal axis of the elongated strewing means being substantially transverse to the direction of intended movement of the supply holder.
(1) Note. The "elongated strewing means" under this definition comprises any arrangement of strewing means which (1) results in a pattern of strewn material which is generally elongated when the whole apparatus is not traversing the surface, the pattern extending in the direction of its length outwardly from the supply container and laterally of the direction of traverse of the apparatus over the surface and (2) is physically located outwardly from the container in a direction laterally of the direction of traverse of the apparatus over the surface.
(2) Note. Excluded under this definition of "elongated strewing means" is a single rotating scatter located outwardly of one side of the container, or two rotating scatterers, one on each side of the container and extending outwardly therefrom in a direction laterally to the direction of traverse; such devices will be found in 681+. However, a plurality of rotating scattering units arranged side by side transverse to the direction of movement of the container and located outwardly of the container is included under this definition.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
655, for apparatus comprising a similar elongated, outwardly extending strewing unit and a means which develops a gas flow or acts as a source of gas, the gas mixing with the material and discharging through the strewing unit.
