DEFINITION

Classification: 49/316

(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 a manipulatable mechanical means to impart movement to the strip to or from a locking, sealing or guiding position.
