DEFINITION

Classification: 24/712.1

Includes separate device for holding drawn portion of lacing:

(under subclass 712) Subject matter including a device which (a) is neither part of nor fixedly attached to the string or string guiding means of either the drawstring* or laced-fastener* and (b) prevents, or helps to prevent, retrograde movement of the extracted portion of the string from its securing position.

(1) Note. In general, a device which is part of guiding means for the string is not proper for this and the indented subclasses. However, if a guiding means with a device is intended to always be used at the end of a series of diverse

type guiding means which are not intended to prevent the movement of the string, then it is proper for this area.
