DEFINITION
Classification: 180/298
Including means enabling repositioning of motor:
(under subclass 291) Vehicle provided with means for moving, or facilitating the movement of, the motor either into a different attitude or location on the body frame or from or to the body frame.
(1) Note. (1) Note of subclass 294 is equally applicable here.
(2) Note. While the motor of this subclass (298) usually is a torque-developing device from which power is transmitted mechanically to a driven wheel of the vehicle, a small portion of the art relates to a repositionable prime mover of the kind which contains (i.e., a battery) or which develops (i.e., a motor-generator) electrical energy which is utilized to drive a disclosed electric traction motor. On the other hand, subclasses 65.1+, which was not included in the reclassification project which established this subclass (298) but which is known to include motor-generator prime movers, may contain a more significant portion of the art pertaining to repositionable prime movers.
