| B 60 | VEHICLES IN GENERAL |
|
| Note |
|
| In this class, the following term is used with the meaning indicated: |
|
| – | "vehicle" means all vehicles except those restricted to one of the following types of vehicles: rail vehicles, waterborne vessels, aircraft, space vehicles, hand carts, cycles, animal-drawn vehicles, and sledges, which are covered by the relevant subclasses of B 61 to B 64. |
|
| Thus the term "vehicle" includes: |
|
| – | vehicular characteristics which are common to more than one of the above-listed types; |
|
| – | certain characteristics restricted to automobiles, road or cross-country trailers. |
|
| The following exceptions to the above should be noted: |
|
| (a) | subclass B 60 B or B 60 C embrace all vehicle wheels and tyres, except wheels for roller skates A 63 C 17/22, wheels for model railway vehicles A 63 H 19/22, and special adaptations of wheels or tyres for aircraft B 64 C 25/36; |
|
| (b) | subclass B 60 C embraces the connection of valves to inflatable elastic bodies in general, and in this respect it is not limited to vehicles; |
|
| (c) | subclass B 60 L embraces certain electric equipment of all electrically-propelled vehicles; |
|
| (d) | subclass B 60 M embraces certain power supply equipment for, but external to, any kind of electrically-propelled vehicle; |
|
| (e) | subclass B 60 R embraces safety belts or body harnesses used in all types of land vehicles; [4] |
|
| (f) | subclass B 60 S relates to all kinds of vehicles, except the servicing of rail locomotives B 61 K 11/00, ground equipment for aircraft B 64 F, or cleaning apparatus peculiar to waterborne vessels B 63 B 57/00, B 63 B 59/00; |
|
| (g) | subclass B 60 T includes brake control systems of general applicability, and in this respect it is not limited to vehicles. It also includes rail-vehicle power-brake systems and some other features of rail-vehicle brake systems. |
