DEFINITION

Classification: 24/519

Having inserted and receiving interlocking engaging faces:

(under subclass 489) Clasp*, clip*, or support-clamp* having a projecting engaging surface portion on one gripping member (e.g., button, hook) inserted within a cavity engaging surface portion on the opposed gripping member (e.g., open loop, slot member) which receives both it and the structure-to-be-secured* in such a manner as to subsequently restrict their relative movement in the direction force is transmitted thereto by the structure-to-be-secured*.

(1) Note. The mere intermeshing or mating of opposed gripping members is not considered to be interlocking unless the intermeshing or mating portions tightly interfit or are otherwise held together to restrict the separation of gripping members.
