MACHINES OR ENGINES FOR LIQUIDS (machines or engines for liquids and elastic fluids F01; positive-displacement engines for liquids F03C; positive-displacement machines for liquids F04)
 F03B

Note(s)

  1. This subclass covers:
    • engines, other than of positive-displacement type, driven by liquids;
    • machines, other than of positive-displacement type, for liquids.
  2. Attention is drawn to the Notes preceding class F01, especially as regards the definition of "reaction type".

 F03C

Note(s)

Attention is drawn to the Notes preceding class F01, especially as regards the definitions of "positive displacement", "rotary-piston machines", "oscillating-piston machines", "rotary-piston", "co-operating members", "movement of co-operating members", "teeth or tooth-equivalents", and "internal axis".


 F03D
WIND MOTORS
 F03D

Note(s)

In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:

  • "wind motor" means a mechanism for converting the energy of natural wind into useful mechanical power, and the transmission of such power to its point of use;
  • "rotor" means the wind-engaging parts of the wind motor and the rotary member carrying them;
  • "rotation axis" means the axis of rotation of the rotor.
