(under subclass 86.1) Grapples having additional means (e.g., a gathering arm) which functions separately from the grappling manipulation to laterally move either the grapple or the object, one relative to the other, to align the grapple and object to permit the grapple to engage and grapple the object.
(1) Note. The functioning of the "additional means" must require a movement distinct from that of the grappling operation. If, for example, a grapple is caused to be engaged by an object by a downward movement and an inclined surface on the grapple causes the object to move laterally incident to the downward movement, then this definition is not satisfied.
