DEFINITION

Classification: 24/555

Terminal end of resilient member having engagement or disengagement enhancing structural modifications:

(under subclass 546) Resilient* body having an end thereof bent or curved away from the nearest engaging surface and into a specific shape to allow easier engagement or disengagement of this surface with the structure-to-be-secured*.

(1) Note. The curvature of the ends usually prevents their snagging the structure-to-be-secured* during movement relative thereto.

543, for integral locking-means* formed on the ends of the gripping member.

556, for a resilient* body having an engaging surface with a specific configuration or modification or for a resilient* body having its ends curved towards the structure-to-be-secured to aid in the gripping thereof.
