DEFINITION

Classification: 24/635

Operator includes camming or wedging element:

(under subclass 634) Operator* including either a rigid* or semirigid*, rotatable camming or shiftable wedging element having a contact surface which slides against, for causing the movement of, a cooperating contact surface on or attached to either the interlock component or segment when a rotating or shifting force is applied to the camming or wedging element, and wherein the relative orientation or contour of one of the contacting surfaces causes the movement of the contacted surface of the interlocking component or segment to be in a direction other than that of the shifting or rotating movement of the element.
