DEFINITION

Classification: 401/132

(under the class definition) Implement having (a) a wall portion or a seal which must be broken, cut, or torn to

release coating material to the tool*, or (b) having a tool-supporting section connectable with a replaceable container having such a wall portion or seal, which section includes means to break, cut, tear or displace the wall portion or seal to release coating material to the tool.

(1) Note. A patent for a material-containing capsule which is intended to be ruptured and applied directly to a work surface as a coating implement will be placed in this subclass.

(2) Note. A patent for a sealed cartridge including structure particularly adapting it for use with a coating implement cartridge receiver will be placed in an appropriate subclass indented hereunder; however, a mere sealed receptacle containing a supply of liquid coating material and having a rupturable wall will be considered a package for Class 206, Special Receptacle or Package.

(3) Note. A patent disclosing an implement with a frangible, flow-preventing wall portion will not be placed in this or an indented subclass when claimed in seal-destroyed condition, with the coating material capable of reaching the tool; see, instead, subclasses 143+ or the subclass appropriate to the particular tool.
