DEFINITION

Classification: 49/414

(under subclass 404) Device wherein the mounting means includes a slide or guide, and wherein either the slide or guide is provided with means disparate from its inherent resilience for biasing it into either a supporting frame or a closure engagement, e.g., to increase friction to hold the closure.

(1) Note. A spring guide on one side of a reciprocating closure inherently urges a guide on the opposite side into engagement with that side of the frame. However, such devices have not been considered as distinct biasing means for bearings for this subclass and have been classified below, e.g., in subclasses 428+.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

251, for a biased slide mount on which a closure is pivotally

mounted.

377, for a biased cushioning means adjacent a housing opening.

480.1+, for a closure seal or striker gasket with a distinct biasing means. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

292, Closure Fasteners,

14+, and 70+ for a closure fastener which resiliently or frictionally holds a closure in position. A double acting fastener with distinct biasing means which functions as a bearing for a sliding closure is found in this subclass 414 and subclasses indented thereunder.
