DEFINITION

Classification: 401/225

(under subclass 222) Implement wherein the feeder device includes a specifically provided space, in addition to the necessary guide channel, for retaining surplus material discharged from the reservoir but unused by the tool.

(1) Note. A patent to an implement including an air passage which may receive excess material discharge from the reservoir will be placed in subclass 242, unless the patent clearly discloses that the excess material is fed to the tool (rather than back to the reservoir) in order to clear the air passage, in which case the patent will be placed in this subclass (225).

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

242, for a patent describing the discharge of material from a reservoir solely in terms of the balance thereof with counter-current intake of air, and see (1) Note, above.
