DEFINITION

Classification: 49/303

(under the class definition) Device provided with an elongated strip mounted for movement and spanning the space between the closure and frame so as to (1) preclude the passage of fluid therebetween or (2) to aid or (3) prevent their relative movement, and further provided with means to impart movement to the plate, responsive to movement of the closure, to or from a locking, guiding or sealing position.

(1) Note. Mere deflection or deformation of the strip as it engages on opposed surface has not been considered an actuation for this and the indented subclasses; however, if the strip engages a surface other than the sealing surface to move the strip into contact with its sealing surface, it has been so considered.
