DEFINITION

Classification: 242/481.3

Endless loop mechanism:

(under subclass 476.7) Subject matter in which the traverse mechanism includes an endless member (e.g., belt or chain) driven to move along the closed path defined by the endless member and a guide for the material either mounted on the endless member or driven by an element that is caused to reciprocate or oscillate due to contact or changing of contact with the endless member.

(1) Note. Any element integral with the endless member is considered part of it.
