(under subclass 54.1) Inventions relating to the mounting of the power plant partly or wholly on the lower running-gear--i.e., wheels, axles, and their immediate attachments, such as underframes and springs. The body-frame is not included as part of the lower running-gear.
(1) Note. When the mounting of some other part of the power plant than the motor and the mounting of the motor constitute the invention, the patent is classified according to the motor-mounting and a cross-reference, if necessary, placed in the subclass in which the rest of the invention would be placed if claimed, per se.
(2) Note. In the instance of a vehicle wheel which contains a motor for driving the wheel, classification is in a motor class as long as the wheel is claimed in such a manner as to amount to no more than a nominal load for the motor.
