DEFINITION
Classification: 401/40
(under the class definition) Implement including a supply-means* for a liquid vehicle and a supply of soluble or dispersible material so related to the supply-means that admixture of the material to the vehicle can occur by (a) flow of the vehicle only, into direct contact with the material, or (b) movement of the material into contact with the vehicle prior to entry of the mixture into the feeder*.
(1) Note. A patent wherein contact of the concentrate with the carrier occurs as a result of the flow of each through a separate feeder, or a feeder branch, leading from a separate reservoir will be placed in subclasses 44+ even if a mixing chamber is provided at the junction of the feeder branches or separate feeders.
(2) Note. This subclass will take a patent for an implement including a reservoir for a liquid carrier and a compartment, entirely out of communication with the reservoir, for the concentrated material, so arranged that the material can get into the reservoir only by some manual act of the user.
(3) Note. An implement including concentrated material but not having a reservoir or conduit supply means for a liquid to dissolve the material, will be found in a subclass characterized by the nature of the disclosed tool; see the search notes below.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
28, for an implement including solid material and a liquid carrier in which the material is dissolved or dispersed and wherein the tool of the implement is of multiple-tip, multiple-discharge construction (e.g., massaging tool). 44+, for an implement including a plurality of supply-means feeding to a single tool or to the work; and see (1) Note, above.
201, for a porous tool implement having a compartment for containing solid coating material adapted to be dissolved by an externally supplied liquid, as by dipping the implement in a liquid.
252, for a bifurcate nib implement including an attached supply retainer feeding directly to the tool, which retainer stores solid coating material adapted to be dissolved by dipping the tool and retainer in a liquid.
268, for an implement of the brush, broom, or mop type, having a compartment for containing solid material adapted to be dissolved by an external source accessible to the material directly, rather than by way of supply-means.
