.~ With provision for limited relative movement between components
DEFINITION
Classification: 428/591
(under subclass 544) Subject matter having plural components and means for one component to move, relative to another component.
(1) Note. The motion is generally limited to that necessary to provide flexibility in the material or to prevent breakage due to installation or temperature change in the material.
(2) Note. The means must be a physically distinct means, not merely another component, definable merely in terms of its composition.

617, for temperature deflectable composite* stock-material* provided with a component, generally a layer, of temperature-expansive characteristics such as to prevent separation of the main components.
