(under the class definition) Apparatus in which working fluid en route to or from the working chamber of the device is either supplied thereto or discharged therefrom by a plurality of passages separately communicating therewith, each passage being at least adapted to communicate with a separate fluid source or point of use.

(1) Note.

91, Motors: Expansible Chamber Type,

21, for rotary expansible chamber type motors having plural working fluid passages for conducting working fluid to the working chamber thereof, at least one of the passages having either a separate, selectively adjustable fluid flow control member or a separate fluid flow control portion of a unitary flow control means for sequentially and selectively controlling fluid flow through at least one other passage. However, a plurality of such passages sequentially controlled by the same portion of an adjustable fluid flow control member to merely control thereby the rate of fluid flow to the working chamber is not considered fluid flow through diverse paths for classification in Class 91.
