DEFINITION

Classification: 411/113

Plastically deformable portion:

(under subclass 111) Device wherein the movable part or region is formed from such a material that, when released from the moving force, it remains more or less in the position into which it was moved (i.e., the part or region is nonresilient).

(1) Note. Typical of the art of this subclass is a member provided with two or more locating tabs, the tabs being bendable into a position in which they grip the edge of an aperture formed in a platelike substructure.
