DEFINITION

Classification: 24/706.2

Having distinct guiding, holding, or protecting means for penetrated portion:

(under subclass 706) Subject matter having means which both (1) does not penetrate through the hole formed by the impaling structure of the penetrating portion and (2) is intended to cooperate with the penetrated portion of the pin* to either (a) direct or constrain the motion of this portion (e.g., prevent its withdraw) or (b) shield the impaling structure of the portion from harmful contact with other objects.

(1) Note. Directing, constraining, or shielding means considered proper for this and the indented subclasses must either partially surround or directly contact an exposed section of the penetrating portion which has gone completely through the structure-to-be-secured* or a supporting member therefor. Means which (1) merely covers a surface of the material opposite to that penetrated into by the penetrating portion or (2) contacts the penetrating portion within the material penetrated is classified elsewhere under subclass 706 (e.g., 711.5, 710.6).
