DEFINITION

Classification: 494/79

Including plurality of axially-extending, plate-like elements located within vertically-oriented bowl:

(under subclass 43) Apparatus wherein the member turns about a generally vertical axis and includes internal structure which moves with it, and wherein that structure comprises, at least in part, a plurality of elements which (a) parallel the axis of the member and (b) have length (i.e., height) and width dimensions, especially the former, which greatly exceed their thickness dimension.

(1) Note. See (1) Note of subclass 74 above, which is applicable here (79), also.

(2) Note. See (2) Note of subclass 74 above for an explanation of the relationship between the platelike

elements of that area (74+) and those of this subclass (79). It may be observed, additionally, that the platelike elements of this subclass (79) are somewhat more likely to be in the nature of vanes for accelerating material than they are to be, as in the instance of the 74+ area, surfaces forming paths of flow for material moving away from or toward the axis of rotation of the member.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

44, for a separator wherein the rotatable bowl comprises a plurality of bowls which are partly or wholly within one another, and see (3) Note thereof for an explanation of the resemblance which sometimes exists between the art of that subclass (44) and that of this subclass (79).

74+, as explained in the reference thereto appearing in (1) Note and (2) Note above.
