VEHICLES IN GENERAL

|  | B60 |
Note(s) 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 Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B61-B64. 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: subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60B or Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60C embrace all vehicle wheels and tyres, except wheels for roller skates Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A63C 17/22, wheels for model railway vehicles Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A63H 19/22, and special adaptations of wheels or tyres for aircraft Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B64C 25/36; subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60C embraces the connection of valves to inflatable elastic bodies in general, and in this respect it is not limited to vehicles; subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60L embraces certain electric equipment of all electrically-propelled vehicles; subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60M embraces certain power supply equipment for, but external to, any kind of electrically-propelled vehicle; subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60R embraces safety belts or body harnesses used in all types of land vehicles; [4] subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60S relates to all kinds of vehicles, except the servicing of rail locomotives Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B61K 11/00, ground equipment for aircraft Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B64F, or cleaning apparatus peculiar to waterborne vessels Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B63B 57/00, Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B63B 59/00; subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B60T 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.
