DEFINITION

Classification: 24/556

Having specific surface irregularity on or along engaging face:

(under subclass 546) Resilient* body wherein a specific, uneven surface formation forms one of the structure-to-be-secured* engaging surfaces.

(1) Note. Details of the facial contour must be positively claimed for proper document classification herein as an original.

(2) Note. An engaging surface existing solely in a single plane and formed along a curved, looped, or bent gripping member is not considered to be irregular since it is not uneven in the gripping direction.

(3) Note. A slip resistant coating, sleeve, or cover placed on, or attached to, the engaging portion of the gripping member would not be considered proper for placement hereunder since the gripping member, taken as a whole, would not consist of a single piece of material.
