DEFINITION

Classification: 411/296

Side clutch:

(under subclass 259) Device wherein a discrete locking member bites into the threads on either of the threaded elements with the locking action resembling that of a pawl and ratchet except that said threads have no cooperating notches.

(1) Note. The engagement of the member of this subclass (296) with the threaded element hereof is somewhat similar to that of the member and element of subclass 300 below, except that here there is toothed contact while in subclass 300 there is only line contact.
