DEFINITION

Classification: 24/593

And position locking-means therefor:

(under subclass 591) Projection member having locking-means* for retaining the rotatably connected component at a particular orientation when it is in interlocking engagement.

(1) Note. A component which (a) prevents the separation of the dissociable members, and (b) is located on one of the mating members and directly engages the interlocking portion of the other mating member is not considered a proper position locking-means* for this subclass and is placed elsewhere as an interlocking component.
