DEFINITION

Classification: 180/65.1

Electric:

(under subclass 54.1) Vehicles wherein an electric motor in the body or on the body-frame drives the vehicle.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

6.48, for vehicles wherein electric motors are selectively driven to steer the vehicle.

60, for a motor vehicle having its power plant mounted on its lower running gear and wherein that running gear comprises the frame which connects the axles and further wherein the power plant is an electric motor.

214, for a motor vehicle having a wheel arrangement comprising three wheels and wherein at least one wheel is both steerable and driven and further wherein the vehicle's motor is mounted to swing with that wheel, and wherein, in addition, the motor is electrical in nature.

216, for a motor vehicle having a wheel arrangement comprising three wheels and wherein two wheels, which wheels

have a common axis, are driven and further wherein the vehicle's motor is electrical in nature.

220, for a motor vehicle having a wheel arrangement comprising two wheels in tandem relationship and wherein the vehicles motor is of the electrical type. 242+, for a motor vehicle having four wheels driven and wherein the means for driving one or more of the wheels may be an electric motor.

298, for a motor vehicle wherein the motor and the body frame are particularly related to one another and wherein is included means which enables the repositioning of the motor relative to the body frame; as explained in (2) Note of that subclass (298), the motor may be a prime mover of the battery, or of the motor-generator, type.

191, Electricity: Transmission to Vehicles, for inventions relating to the transmission of electrical energy from fixed points to vehicles and not involving specific vehicle structure nor specific means for applying the electrical energy to any specific purpose.

290, Prime-Mover Dynamo Plants,

45, and the subclasses (e.g., 9+, 22+, 27-29) indented under Electric Control, for power-plants for motor-vehicles, including a prime mover, a generator, and one or more motors. Patents herein do not include claims for structure specific to vehicles nor for inventions relating to the mounting of electric-power-plant structure relative to a vehicle.

310, Electrical Generator or Motor Structure, appropriate subclasses for electric motors designed for motor vehicles but not involving vehicle features.

320, Electricity: Battery or Capacitor Charging or Discharging, appropriate subclass for charging a vehicular battery.
