DEFINITION

Classification: 411/87

Elongate member extending between and interlocking plural bolts and nuts:

(under subclass 81) Device wherein the other element, or at least one of a plurality thereof, comprises a member which has a longitudinal dimension greatly in excess of any of its other dimensions (e.g., a bar, rod, strap, wire) and which spans the distance between, and is held in engagement with, two or more bolts or nuts, thus preventing relative rotation of any of the bolts or nuts which it interconnects.

(1) Note. The member, in use, may retain the primarily rodlike configuration of the material from which it was made, or it may be looped, reversely bent, etc., which shaping frequently is for the purpose of engaging more than one flat side of a bolt head or a nut.
