DEFINITION

Classification: 112/429

(under subclass 402) Product wherein a strand*, a narrow component which functions in the assembly like a strand, part of a strand, or a group of fibers, is disposed upon a base web or sheet which it does not penetrate and is attached thereto by a sewn thread.

(1) Note. A floating strand or strand-like member may be, for instance, a locking thread or one that serves only as an ornament.

(2) Note. A tape which has been bent about its longitudinal axis and sewn to a base in that condition as an edge binding is not considered to be a strand-like tape for this subclass. See subclass 419.
