SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
This class includes patents relating to that portion of a land
vehicle, secured to the running gear thereof, which operates as
a receptacle or load carrier, together with the top or cover therefor.
SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
This class is subordinate to Class 280, Land Vehicles, and
is distinguished therefrom as set forth in the above definition.
Patents for bodies or load carriers for special purposes will
be found in this class unless there exist other devices for the
same purposes, in which devices a running gear is an essential feature,
in which latter instance they have been placed in Class 280, Land
Vehicles, subclasses 4 and 8+, or unless such bodies are
for such purposes as would place them in a more specialized class, as
Classes 180, Motor Vehicles; 212, Traversing Hoists; 298, Land Vehicles:
Dumping; or 414, Material or Article Handling.
Patents for attachments for vehicles will be found in this class
only when their functions limit them for use with vehicle bodies
and tops; otherwise they will be found in Class 280, Land Vehicles,
unless they are for such purposes as would place them in a more
specialized class, as Classes 180, Motor Vehicles; 212, Traversing
Hoists; 224, Package and Article Carriers; or 414, Material or Article
Handling.
Seats in vehicles will be found in this class only when some
part of the body is modified to cooperate with the seats; otherwise
they are classified in Class 297, Chairs and Seats.
A door (access barrier or closure) in a vehicle body is found
in this class (Class 296) when an accessory (e.g., trim, armrest,
visor, etc.) or a feature correlated to a vehicle body is included.
In the absence of such defining accessory or feature, a singular
door structure is classified elsewhere. However, the feature of
plural doors in a vehicle body is provided in this class.

no defining accessory or feature correlated to a vehicle body is
present. |

components of more general application. In general a box-like structure
or a related component thereof is in Class 52 even though defined
or disclosed as used in a vehicle. Also a vehicle having means,
e.g., an earth anchored brace or guy, to convert a vehicle to an
in situ structure is also in Class 52. |

other flexible sheet material forms the panel portion, (b) panel
units formed of plural strips, slats, or panels, interconnected

operator or mounted only in a common frame or on a common support),
(c) panel units in the form of portable partitions, and (d) parts
(a)-(c) combined with each other or with rigid closures or other
panels. Such devices, even though disclosed as parts of land vehicle bodies
or tops have been placed in Class 160 (with only the exceptions
set forth below and in the notes to particular subclasses in Class
296). These exceptions are (a) where organized to form a vehicle
body enclosure, claimed in combination with particular additional
features of vehicle body structure (as connections between vehicle
top or bottom and sides, body bracing, etc.) or in a particular
relation to the vehicle other than merely in a vehicle opening; and
(b) claimed in combination with vehicle accessories (as windshield
wipers, seats, steps, rear view mirrors, etc.). In all cases where flexible
filled fabric frames are solely disclosed, they have been placed
in Class 160, Flexible or Portable Closure, Partition, or Panel,
whether or not the fabric has been claimed. |
