DEFINITION

Classification: 16/284

Resiliently biased rolling or sliding cam surface:

(under subclass 280) Hinge wherein an elastically deformable

element is arranged to cause a first surface associated with a hinged member* to slide or roll over a second cooperating surface, whereby the hinged member is caused to swing about the hinge axis* from either side of the equilibrium position due to the relative curvature of the surfaces.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

303, for a hinge in which a hinged member* is caused to swing in only one direction by an axially biased cam surface.
