DEFINITION

Classification: 411/84

Prefabricated assembly comprising strip or sheet member carrying plural similar fasteners:

(under subclass 81) Device wherein the other element, or at least one of a plurality thereof, comprises a member which either has a significant longitudinal dimension (e.g., a channel) or else consists primarily of a planar surface (e.g., a plate) and which has connected thereto, in a manner which restricts their rotation relative to the member, a plurality of either nuts (usually) or bolts, the member and its nuts or bolts forming an assembly whereby the attachment of the member to a substructure serves to fasten the plurality of nuts or bolts thereto.

(1) Note. It is commonplace in the art of this subclass to provide for a limited amount of movement of the nuts or bolts relative to the member, the purpose ordinarily being to enable a more precise alignment with their complementary bolts or nuts.
