DEFINITION

Classification: 53/500

Single sensor for successively sensing each article of the group or subgroup (e.g., counter):

(under subclass 498) Apparatus in which a single sensing means, e.g., counter, successively senses in turn each element or portion of the group and effects the feed of the accumulated group based on a predetermined count.

(1) Note. This subclass takes apparatus under the class definition including counting devices combined with mechanism to form counted articles into a group prior to their insertion or deposit into a cover. Devices which merely count articles as they are being deposited into a cover are not proper for this subclass.

501, for apparatus for counting contents wherein no subsequent group accumulation and feed is claimed.
