DEFINITION

Classification: 24/604

Projection having movable connection between components thereof or variable configuration:

(under subclass 588) Projection member wherein the projection inserted in or through the cavity includes either (a) two distinct components connected together in a manner allowing them at their connection point or region to move relative to each other for facilitating engagement and interlock with a portion of the receiving member during the securement operation, or (b) a surface segment which is integral with or rigidly affixed to the surface forming the remainder of the projection and moves relative to this remaining surface at a point spaced therefrom to vary the shape of the projection for facilitating engagement and interlock with a portion of the receiving member during the securement operation.

(1) Note. The portion of the projection member which rigidly affixes the movable surfaces of the projection to each other or movably connects the components of the projection with each other is not required to be inserted in or through the cavity.
