DEFINITION

Classification: 414/380

Flexible strand means serves also as initiating means:

(under subclass 379) Apparatus wherein the driven cable, chain, rope, etc., serves also as the device, element, or member which commences the unloading of the receptacle.

(1) Note. The driven means may initiate unloading by merely reversing its direction of movement, or it may include additional structure (e.g., a projection to serve as a trip) for doing so.
