DEFINITION

Classification: 24/481

Having flaccid gripping member:

(under subclass 455) Clasp*, clip*, or support-clamp* having at least a portion of one gripping member formed from flaccid* material.

(1) Note. A multilink chain which acts in a flaccid* manner in all directions is considered to be flaccid* even if its individual links are rigid.

(2) Note. This subclass is not intended to include rigid* or semirigid* engaging members covered by a flaccid* piece of material.
