DEFINITION
Classification: 114/246
(under subclass 242) Device including means specialized for towed or pushed vessels or objects for changing the direction of movement of the towed or pushed vessel or object or a train of such vessels.
(1) Note. Those vessels which recite no more than conventional steering gear, e.g., a rudder controlled from the vessel upon which it is mounted, have not been placed herein but rather have been placed on their specific coupling or towing structure.
(2) Note. Push boat-barge combinations having variable length lashings connecting the vessels together will be found herein if the lashings permit the boat to be canted with respect to the barge to facilitate or effect steering of the same.
