DEFINITION

Classification: 280/288.4

Attachments and accessories:

(under subclass 200) Vehicles including attachments for velocipedes and accessories limited to use by the occupant and not otherwise classifiable.

(1) Note. The art indented hereunder is directed to a

combination of the bicycle with some other subcombination. Where the class for the subcombination provides subclasses for the subcombinations use in combination, the proper classification is in that other subcombination class. For instance, the class for locks provides for locks in special applications including bicycles which have provisions to accommodate the lock. See the Search Class notes below. Similarly, another class takes article carriers even where the vehicle structure is changed by the inclusion of bolt holes, angle brackets, etc. Where the organization of a bicycle as a whole is changed to provide a carrier, proper classification is proper in this class but in a different subclass. Handle bar attachments in the form of receivers and other types of handle bar attachments are placed elsewhere. Windshield and front fairings are placed in another class. See the search notes below.
