DEFINITION

Classification: 24/708.4

With slidable connection between nonself-biasing components:

(under subclass 707.9) Directing, constraining, or shielding means with one part connected to the other part by two mutually cooperating surfaces which (a) are each integral with or fixedly attached to a different one of the parts, (b) contact and slide relative to each other when the parts direct, constrain, or shield the penetrating portion of the pin, and (c) restrict the relative motion between the movably connected parts to substantively a single primary direction, in addition, neither of the above parts are biased along the primary direction relative movement by their own resiliency.
