DEFINITION
Classification: 401/27
(under subclass 25) Implement including means for releasing material* to a work surface in a zone which is near the area contracted by one of the tools, or in a manner not requiring engagement of any of the tools with the work surface.
(1) Note. For the purpose of this subclass the depositing means may release the material to the work surface only, or partly to the work surface directly and partly to a tool.
(2) Note. To be considered as discharging material to the work surface, for placement in this subclass, the discharge must be beyond the area circumscribed by the totality of the work-surface-contacting portions of the implement (e.g., beyond the area within a ring of work-surface-contacting filamentary elements or a group of brushes).
