DEFINITION

Classification: 24/672

And bodily shifted into or out or interlock location by manual force thereon:

(under subclass 671) Resiliently biased component or segment which is intended to be shifted in its entirety relative to the nonresilient access opening when moving either to or from its interlocking position with the projection by manual force applied directly to an integral force or fixedly attached portion thereof.

(1) Note. The resiliently biased component or segment of this subclass is either forced against a portion of the projection or a relatively stationary portion of the receiving member by the manual force and coacts therewith to exceed the biasing force acting on it. If the manual force is applied directly to the component or segment in a direction opposite to the biasing force thereon, then it is proper for subclass 665 and not this subclass.
