DEFINITION

Classification: 24/659

Having flaccid component defining access opening of cavity:

(under subclass 629) Receiving member having at least a segment of the access opening of the cavity constructed from a flaccid* material to allow the perimeter of the opening to change either its size or shape during the interlocking operation.

(1) Note. The flaccid* segment of the access opening of the cavity in this and the indented subclasses may be formed by a flaccid* piece of the structure-to-be-secured* (e.g., a button hole).

(2) Note. The flaccid* material of this and the indented subclasses may also be elastic in nature (e.g., a button loop made of thin rubber material).
