DEFINITION

Classification: 414/788.4

Takes articles for stack from another group:

(under subclass 788.1) Apparatus wherein articles placed into the stack* by the apparatus are first removed by it either individually or in small numbers (i.e., less than a complete group) from another distinct assemblage of articles (e.g.,., stack*).

(1) Note. For the purposes of this and the indented subclasses an article separator inserted within a stack* of articles or a pallet for supporting a stack* of articles is not considered to be one of the stacked articles, unless the stack* is entirely composed of separators and pallets. See subclasses 789.5 and 927 for patents which remove a pallet or separator from a group and place them within a stack* of articles.
