DEFINITION

Classification: 429/72

(under the class definition) Apparatus having means for manipulating a fluid in a battery structure to (a) vent, (b) feed, or (c) circulate the same.

(1) Note. Since a filler opening of a battery is so conventional and will inherently function to allow feeding and venting, said filler opening is not considered proper for this and indented subclasses.
