(under the class definition) Implement including a reservoir* and means within the reservoir which has the sole function of stirring or shaking the material therein or otherwise moving it for the purpose of putting or maintaining the material in a fluent state.
(1) Note. The agitating means must be other than, or a modification of, a part of the implement which is used for a different purpose (e.g., tool, feeder, valve, valve actuator).
(2) Note. A scraper, cutter, or comminutor which merely divides the material into smaller particles is not considered to be an agitator for this subclass.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
258+, for an implement including a stylus tool in which the work-engaging rod or needle has an enlarged portion within the reservoir, usually serving primarily as a valve or a tool-actuator, which portion incidentally serves to agitate material in the reservoir.
