DEFINITION

Classification: 29/525.01

By applying separate fastener:

(under subclass 428) Process wherein a plurality of parts are mechanically joined together by means of a detached connecting member which performs no other function in the assembly other than to join the parts together.

(1) Note. Utilizing a driven nonrotating fastener which pierces the parts, such as a nail or staple, is NOT included in this subclass or any indented subclass.
