DEFINITION

Classification: 411/86

Including a series of elements, one element restricting two fasteners of a plurality, and the remainder each restricting one fastener:

(under subclass 81) Device wherein the means comprises a plurality of elements, serially arranged more or less parallel to an outwardly facing surface of the substructure, one of the plurality of elements serving to restrict two bolts or nuts against rotation, and another, or each other, of the plurality of elements serving to restrict one other bolt or nut against rotation.

(1) Note. While the other element, or each of them, receives the shank of one bolt and engages the head of another (usually adjacent) bolt, or a nut on that bolt, the one element must engage the heads of two (usually adjacent) bolts, or the nuts on those bolts. In order to engage the bolt heads or nuts, the element may be integrally so configured, or it may utilize an auxiliary portion to furnish the engagement with one of the two bolt heads or nuts; in the latter situation, the auxiliary portion may be hinged to its element, or it may be separable from its element and attachable thereto when utilized for its intended purpose.
