.~.~.~.~ Plural diverse mechanical spring elements
DEFINITION
Classification: 280/124.165
Plural diverse mechanical spring elements:
(under subclass 124.164) Subject matter wherein the suspension includes several distinct forms or types of elastic potential energy storing devices.
(1) Note. Mere duplication of a single form or type of elastic potential energy storing device is not proper for classification in this subclass. Such duplication would be properly classified in the subclass providing for that form or type of elastic potential energy storing device.
(2) Note. A resilient, elastomeric, or rubber element employed within a mounting arrangement of a mechanical spring element is not to be considered a "distinct" spring element for classification in this subclass unless such resilient, elastomeric, or rubber element acts to provide cushioning effect upon the axle, vehicle body, chassis, or frame, or wheel other than through the associated mechanical spring mounting arrangement.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
124.108, for a suspension arrangement specifically provided
to abate mechanical noise, which may involve the use of a resilient, elastomeric, or rubber cushioning element.
124.162+, for a suspension arrangement including a fluidic suspension element and a mechanical spring element.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 267, Spring Devices,
2+, for vehicle spring devices, per se, especially subclasses 259+ for plural diverse spring devices, each of which cushions relative movement between parts of the vehicle.
