| Notes |
| (1) | In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated: |
| | "tyre" means a separate ground-engaging, continuous element outside the periphery of the wheel rim and includes the tyre casing, cover, or jacket and any insert, e.g. inner tube. In group B60C 29/00, relating to connection of valves, the term "tyre" also includes inflatable elastic bodies other than tyres or inner tubes. |
| (2) | Attention is drawn to the Note following the title of class B60. |
