DEFINITION
Classification: 450/19
Including plural elastic panels or inserts with diversely oriented lines or elasticity:
(under subclass 7) Subject matter made up of a multiplicity of distinct pieces having some degree of elasticity and wherein the permissive direction of stretch of at least two pieces is in some angular relation other than parallel.
(1) Note. This includes the combination of a one-way and a two-way stretch piece of elastic material because the second-named piece will have a direction of permissive stretch not parallel to the of the first-named piece.
(2) Note. Straps and narrow bands attached at their ends only and used for tension members have generally been excluded from this subclass.
