SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
For purposes of this classification, a lock is defined as
a securing device or a plurality of devices including mechanism
requiring means unknown or inaccessible to or beyond the control
of the public, or secret means, or secret knowledge, or a combination
of such means and knowledge for successful normal operation to a
releasing condition. Generally, these devices embody fixed or movable
blocking elements or impediments hindering or precluding unauthorized
or suppertitious manipulation except by the means above noted, or
secret knowledge, usually a special, prearranged or predetermined key
or combination of movements.
This class is essentially an element class but includes:
Certain special securing contrivances of general utility for
application or securement to some conventional structure to prevent
normal manipulation of the structure such as hasps and portable
securing mechanisms, as fetters, padlocks, etc.
Certain special applications of locks to other conventional
structures modified only sufficiently to provide a location therefor.
Certain systemic arrangements of locks wherein the initial,
basic or ultimate control is a lock, although portions of the arrangement
may be controllable by other alternative means.
Certain specially contrived devices, mechanisms and adjuncts
associated with, part of, or ancillary or auxiliary to locks or
their operating features.
In its elemental aspects, this class includes the constituent
construction of the lock, which may include structure responsive
to other operating agents wherein initiation of operation is controllable
by the lock either solely or alternatively, but constitutes a securing
mechanism as an entity. The features of the elemental structure,
both as an assembled entity and in its essential elements, as when
combined with features designed to defeat surreptitious or unauthorized
manipulation by external force, are also found in this class.
