DEFINITION

Classification: 24/532

With specific means for mounting to flaccid supporting structure or structure-to-be-secured:

(under subclass 550) Clasp*, clip* or support-clamp* provided with specific means for attaching it to a flaccid* (a) supporting structure, or (b) structure-to-be-secured*.

(1) Note. Details of the actual mounting means, per se, must be positively claimed for the combination to be considered proper for this subclass. The mere claiming of a clasp*, clip*, or support-clamp* which is "adapted" for mounting is considered insufficient for placement herein. The clasp*, clip*, or support-clamp*, after being mounted to the supporting structure or the structure-to-be-secured* is then capable of gripping a structure-to-be-secured* or supporting structure, respectively.

(2) Note. This subclass does not include peculiar mounting formations which either (1) (a) require the supporting structure to first pass through the passageway formed by opposed structure-to-be-secured* engaging surfaces and (b) are extensions of this passageway simply located further therealong or (2) are intended to be capable of alternately being utilized to grip the structure-to-be-secured* (e.g., not plural clasping sections).

(3) Note. See Lines With Other Classes in the class definition of this class for the line between Classes 24 and 248. Also see the search note to Class 24 in the class definition of Class 248.
