ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF PROPULSION UNITS OR OF TRANSMISSIONS IN VEHICLES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF PLURAL DIVERSE PRIME-MOVERS; AUXILIARY DRIVES; INSTRUMENTATION OR DASHBOARDS FOR VEHICLES; CONJOINT CONTROL OF DRIVE UNITS; ARRANGEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH COOLING, AIR INTAKE, GAS EXHAUST, OR FUEL SUPPLY, OF PROPULSION UNITS, IN VEHICLES
Notes
(1)
In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:
-
"conjoint control of drive units" includes such control for vehicles or of general applicability; [2]
-
"auxiliary drives" means drives of auxiliary or external machines or devices from the propulsion unit, transmission, or other parts of the vehicle, and includes the control of such drives;
-
"transmission" means all propulsion parts linking propulsion units, e.g. engines, to ultimate propulsive elements, e.g. wheels;
-
"drive unit" means propulsion unit conjoint with transmission; a "drive unit" can additionally include the ultimate driven unit; [2]
-
"sub-unit" means, e.g., propulsion unit, clutch, gearing, or brake system. [2]
