Paragraph Number

79

"Point" refers to a mechanical device, apparatus, member, component, system, assembly, or structure having a larger diameter on one end than the diameter on the opposite end. In certain embodiments, a point has a proximal end connected or coupled to a base, shaft, and/or body and a distal end that is free. A point may have a variety of cross-sectional shapes including round, circular, square, oval, rectangular, and the like. In certain embodiments, a point may progressively taper from a larger diameter on one end to a small sharp end on an opposite end. Alternatively, a free end of a point may have a flat or angled end instead of a sharp tip.
