DEFINITION

Classification: 24/642

For shifting slidably connected and guided, nonself-biasing, interlocking component:

(under subclass 640) Receiving member wherein the operator* element moves a projection engaging or guiding component connected to a remaining stationary component of the receiving member by two distinct, rigid* or semirigid* formations which (1) are each integral with or fixedly attached to a different one of the components, and (2) have mutually cooperating surfaces both (a) in sliding contact with each other and (b) restricting the relative motion of the moving projection engaging or guiding component to substantively a single primary direction between its interlock and noninterlock positions, and further wherein this relatively movable component is neither biased along the primary direction into nor out of interlock engagement with the interlocking structure of the projection by its own resiliency.
