DEFINITION

Classification: 414/404

For emptying contents thereof into portable receiving means:

(under subclass 403) Apparatus wherein the device engages the receptacle (e.g.,., a basket, bin, box, bucket, can, container, pail, etc.) and handles or moves it so as to cause it to be relieved of its contents, and wherein is provided a means to receive the contents, which means is of a kind which can be bodily relocated from one site to another.

(1) Note. The handling of the receptacle may involve merely picking it up, dumping its contents and setting it down, or, on the other hand, there may be a significant transporting aspect involved if the receiver is at a remote location.
