DEFINITION

Classification: 273/348.4

Having bristled, hooked, or looped surface for adherence of complementarily surfaced projectile thereto (e.g., Velcro material, etc.):

(under subclass 348) Subject matter wherein the target device

has a projectile-engaging surface, at least a portion of which is made from, or has attached thereto, a material comprising a very large number of closely spaced projecting bristles, hooks, or loops and wherein the target device is intended to be used with a projectile having disposed thereon complementary projecting bristles, loops, or hooks whereby, whenever the projectile contacts the surface of the target device, the material of the target device is intended to interlock with the complementary projecting bristles, loops, or hooks disposed upon the projectile so as to cause the projectile or a portion thereof to adhere to and be retained upon the target device.

(1) Note. The expression "interlock with" is intended to include (due to the structural similarity of closely spaced bristles and closely spaced hooks or loops) the adherence of a projectile having projecting bristles which is intended to be engaged with, and thereby adhered to, a target device also having projecting bristles even though the adherence of the projectile to the target device is primarily due to frictional forces between the respective sets of bristles.
