.~.~.~ Control of advancer responsive to sensing of foremost sheet {3}
153
.~.~.~.~ Sensor included in feed mechanism
DEFINITION
Classification: 271/153
(under subclass 152) Device which is provided with a means to remove the foremost sheet of a stack, and wherein the
detecting means is a part of said removing means.
(1) Note. In patents of this subclass, the sheet separator is claimed in general terms not justifying placement in one of the specific separator subclasses higher in the class schedule. The emphasis in the claimed invention is in the sensor, which is either (a) integral with the separator, or (b) mounted on the same subassemblage that supports the separator so that the sensor partakes of separator movement at least in part, or (c) activated by a moving element that partakes of movement of the separator.
