Land vehicles
SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
This class includes vehicles, adapted to travel on land and
not elsewhere classified. The term "vehicle" includes
some form of running gear as an essential element, which running
gear usually supports a load carrier, but may support a load directly,
and adapts the vehicle to move over a surface. The basic purpose
of those devices commonly called vehicles is the carrying of a load,
either freight or passengers, from one place to another. The idea
of towing a load, as by locomotives, traction engines, or tractors,
has also long been associated with the term "vehicle."

Note. The term "vehicle" also includes devices
that are for special purposes identical with those in which a form
of running gear is an essential element, and further includes such
attachments for vehicles as are not limited in their position to
any particular part of the vehicle. |
| | (2)
Note. This class includes the combination between running
gear and load carriers not otherwise classified. |
| | (3)
Note. The running gear of various portable machines is also
included when the machine is not claimed or is claimed by name only
and the running gear is capable of general use. However, when the
claimed running gear is solely disclosed for an agricultural, earth
working, or harvesting implement, proper classification is in the appropriate
agricultural, earth working, or harvesting implement class, even
without specific claimed limitations of such agricultural, earth
working, or harvesting implement. See the class definition (Class
280), EARTH OR TRAVELED SURFACE, TRAVERSING AND WORKING OR TREATING
DEVICES,and also subclass 400 herein,
the (1) Note, directed to an articulated vehicle or plural interconnected vehicles
(i.e., a vehicle train). |

Note. The relationship of vehicles which are primarily intended
for transportation purposes to working devices of various types,
which may or may not travel while performing their primary function,
and to various related arts is discussed in the following search
notes presented in the sequence of the following "OUTLINE
OF NOTES". |
