DEFINITION

Classification: 24/589

Having divergent interlock means distinct from cavity or projection of its member:

(under subclass 588) Separable-fastener* wherein either the receiving or projection member is provided with additional means which (a) completes the interlock between the receiving and projection members, (b) is different from either the cavity or projection on its member in size, shape, and method

of interlock, (c) is located completely outside of the cavity or is separate from the projection, and (d) respectively engages with structure or the opposed member distinct from either the projection or any supporting structure forming a rigidly affixed or integral extension of the projection or the internal surface of the structure defining the cavity.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

305+, for a separable-fastener* member having two distinct and diversely shaped interlocking faces which are each intended to engage a different, separate, dissociable mating member and independently interlock therewith (i.e., their separate interlocking operations have no effect on each other and they can be engaged in any sequence) to complete a useful connection utilizing all of the dissociable members.

605, for plural, similar projections which each engage a different cavity and have relatively movable components or surfaces.

630+, for separable-fasteners* having two, distinct cavities, one of which includes a movable component or surface.

697, for plural distinct projections with no relatively movable components or surfaces.
