DEFINITION

Classification: 24/662

Having resiliently biased interlocking component or segment:

(under subclass 629) Receiving member having one of its interlocking components or segments both (a) movable relative to the remaining interlocking structure of the receiving member, and (b) biased either into or out of its normal interlocking position by its own resiliency or the resiliency of a noninterlocking component of the receiving member attached thereto or contacting therewith.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

614+, for a projection having two, relatively movable,

inserted components or segments of which at least one is resiliently biased to allow their movement.

683, for a projection or cavity having an integral resilient* segment which is utilized to mount, and allow bodily movement of, the projection or cavity.
