DEFINITION

Classification: 494/31

INCLUDING PLURALITY OF SEPARATE AND DISTINCT BOWLS:

(under the class definition) Apparatus which includes two or more receptacle-like members, no one of which members is contained in whole or in part in any other member, and each of which members serves as the locus of a separating function.

(1) Note. The separating functions taking place in the members sometimes are identical; however, they are more likely to differ in, for example, the king or the phase or the degree of separation.

(2) Note. "Separate" is not intended to exclude an externally touching (e.g., a rolling contact) relationship between two or more of the members.
