(under subclass 287) Apparatus including (1) some form of yielding, resilient or adjustable means permitting variations
between the final position of closure head and receptacle support during infeed and/or (2) means to assist the gravity removal of a completed package from the closure head.
(1) Note. The claimed recitation of a closure head, capping head, die, throat, tapered throat, and the like without further recitation of structural detail for said closure applying element has been deemed insufficient to warrant classification in subclasses 341+ and, where otherwise coming within the scope of the above definition, has been here classified.
(2) Note. Included here are devices which provide for compensating means in the closure head or die-structure as well as compensating means in the receptacle support.
(3) Note. The mere yielding of a plunger to provide an ejection means for the assembled closure and receptacle is not necessarily a variable height compensating means, and such mechanism not in fact providing for height deviation is to be found in subclass 369.
