DEFINITION

Classification: 24/551

Relatively movable segments of resilient gripping member contact and cross in nonuse position:

(under subclass 546) Resilient* body wherein segments thereof are positioned, when not gripping the structure-to-be-secured*, such that they touch and completely intersect each other at least one location and are resiliently biased toward each other.

(1) Note. To completely intersect, one portion must pass entirely over both edges of the opposed portion of the body (i.e., not overlap).
