DEFINITION

Classification: 24/598.3

Includes slidable gate closing entrance throat:

(under subclass 598.2) Projection member wherein the noninserted portion of the projection member includes barrier means which (a) is movably connected to the member by two distinct, rigid* or semirigid* formations integral with or fixedly attached to the member and barrier means and having mutually cooperating surfaces in sliding contact with each other for restricting the movement of the barrier means to a linear or curvilinear path and (b) closes the unobstructed space needed for the projection to pass into the cavity when initially interlocking therewith.
