DEFINITION

Classification: 411/123

And having specific structure to coact with substructure:

(under subclass 122) Device wherein the member also has, on or proximate to its region which confronts the substructure, means for engaging the substructure in such a manner that any tendency of the member to turn relative to the substructure is either eliminated or minimized.

(1) Note. The means may be in the nature of pointed or otherwise sharpened projections which will tend to dig into the member-confronting surface of the substructure.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

134+, for a member located at least in part between the substructure and the inwardly facing surface of the bolt head or nut, and wherein means is provided for retaining, prior to assembling two or more of the bolt, nut and substructure with one another, the member to one of those three components in approximately the position it will occupy subsequent to the assembly, and further wherein the means may comprise prongs

or tabs on the member which extend more or less normally thereto and grasp the sides of the bolt head or nut.
