DEFINITION

Classification: 55/400

(under the class definition) Apparatus wherein the separator includes a continuously moving unitary member, other than a mere impeller, so arranged relative to associated structure, or itself so designed, as to perform a separating function.

(1) Note. To be classified under this definition a nonfilter member must stratify, deflect, or otherwise initiate separation of the system fluid constituents by reason of the member's motion relative thereto.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

317, for continuously moving separating means combined with at least one other separator of a diverse type (e.g. filter).

351, for continuous or indefinite length separating means movable during use.

422, for a surface which is removably or adjustably mounted. 437+, and 467+, for those separating devices in which the moving means is nothing more than a fan or pump.

474, for particulate solids movable during use.
