DEFINITION

Classification: 24/629

Receiving member includes either movable connection between interlocking components or variable configuration cavity:

(under subclass 588) Receiving member which includes either (a) two distinct projection engaging or guiding components, in addition to or forming a portion or portions of the required guiding cavity, connected together in a manner allowing them at their connection point or region to move relative to each other for facilitating interlock with the projection of the mating member during the securement operation, or (b) a cavity having a projection engaging or guiding surface segment which is integral with or rigidly affixed to the surface forming the remainder of the cavity

and movable relative to this remaining surface to change the shape of the cavity's periphery for facilitating interlock with the projection of the mating member during the securement operation.
