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.
