DEFINITION

Classification: 232/43.1

(under the class definition) Receptacles having separate restricted openings for deposit and collection, respectively.

(1) Note. "Restricted openings" include openings structurally modified in such a manner as to render removal of deposited material difficult or impossible without removal of a closure or some act other than mere gravity flow (through an open outlet) or dumping. Receptacles having unrestricted open tops for receiving material are specifically excluded and are to be found in the appropriate receptacle class.

(2) Note. In the patents classified in subclasses this and the indented subclasses, removal (collection) is always from

an opening other than the receiving (deposit) opening.

(3) Note. Plural receptacles under the class definition for general purposes and such receptacles combined with accessory devices, except those specifically provided for in the subclasses indented under this subclass, are in subclass 1 of this class. Where one of the plural receptacles is an article dispenser of the type provided for in Class 221, classification is in Class 221, in subclasses 92+, particular attention being directed to subclass 102 which provides for article dispensing devices combined with structure defining a separate receptacle for receiving used articles.

(4) Note. Structures within the scope of the definition of this subclass are classified in subclasses 2 to 43 of this class when the function disclosed is in accordance with the definitions of such subclasses. Accordingly, any search made in subclasses 43.1+ should be completed by search in appropriate preceding subclasses.
