(2) Holding elements are parts of the closure used to
hold the cover to the vessel, and/or to provide the load
required to seal the closure. Hinge pins or bolts may be
used as holding elements.
(3) Locking elements are parts of the closure that
prevent a reduction in the load on a holding element or
prevent the release of a holding element. Locking elements
may also be used as holding elements.
