VEHICLES IN GENERAL

Note(s) [2009.01]

  • 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 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 B60B or B60C embrace all vehicle wheels and tyres, except wheels for roller skates A63C 17/22, wheels for model railway vehicles A63H 19/22, and special adaptations of wheels or tyres for aircraft B64C 25/36;
          • subclass B60C embraces the connection of valves to inflatable elastic bodies in general, and in this respect it is not limited to vehicles;
          • subclass B60L embraces certain electric equipment of all electrically-propelled vehicles;
          • subclass B60M embraces certain power supply equipment for, but external to, any kind of electrically-propelled vehicle;
          • subclass B60R embraces safety belts or body harnesses used in all types of land vehicles;
          • subclass B60S relates to all kinds of vehicles, except the servicing of rail locomotives B61K 11/00, ground equipment for aircraft B64F, or cleaning apparatus peculiar to waterborne vessels B63B 57/00, B63B 59/00;
          • subclass 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;
          • subclass B60V embraces air-cushion vehicles per se and land vehicles, waterborne vessels or aircraft combined with features allowing them to alternatively operate as air-cushion vehicles or to be partially supported by an air cushion.
