DEFINITION

Classification: 494/18

Including conduit of flexible umbilical cable type:

(under subclass 17) Apparatus which further includes a flaccid, tubular element for conducting the mixture or other fluid from a stationary supply, or supply connection, to or from the receptacles while they are rotating with the carrier.

(1) Note. The development and use of a conduit of this nature is generally considered to reduce certain maintenance and contamination problems inherent in the rotating seal which it eliminates.
