DEFINITION

Classification: 173/184

WITH VEHICLE SUPPORT FOR DRIVE:

(under the class definition) Apparatus combined with the significant structure of a vehicle which is (1) adapted to move the tool drive from work station to work station or (2) adapted to support and advance the tool drive during operation.

(1) Note. By significant vehicle structure is meant more than a mere nominal vehicle or part of the vehicle, such as a bed, which is not peculiar to a transporting device. However, the inclusion of a nominal vehicle and the recitation of power take-off, plural wheels or plural skids, etc., comprises sufficient vehicle structure for inclusion under this definition.
