DEFINITION

Classification: 180/292

Including change-speed gearing, or clutch, mounted in common with motor:

(under subclass 291) Vehicle provided with means in the nature of gearing for altering the speed or direction of the

power output of the motor or means for interrupting said output, the means being either formed integrally with or attached directly to the motor, or else mounted along with the motor on a frame which is auxiliary to the body frame, in order to form an assembly which is supported as a unit relative to the body frame.

(1) Note. The claiming of only the housing of the gearing or the clutch is sufficient for classification here.

(2) Note. The mounting in common with the motor of an accessory or component of a nature other than a change-speed gearing or a clutch (e.g., a generator, a starter, etc.) appears occasionally in the art of subclass 291 above.
