DEFINITION

Classification: 280/43.1

(under subclass 43) Vehicle which the vehicle directly or contacting (1) is inherently unstable when in transport position but is stabilized by an attendant who propels and balances the vehicle by contacting a handle or harness attached to the vehicle, (2) is inherently unstable when in transport position, is adapted to be temporarily attached to articles to transport them and is stabilized by some outside force (such as an attendant or other vehicle) contacting the article, or (3) is inherently unstable when in transport position but adapted to be stabilized by temporary attachment

to articles for transporting them either because more than one of the unstable vehicles of this subclass are temporarily attached to the article or because the article has other wheels.

(1) Note. An attendant is a person who is not an occupant of the vehicle under consideration.

(2) Note. A receptacle which is intended to be loaded or to have portions of the load removed therefrom while associated with the wheels of the unstable vehicle is considered to be a part of the vehicle, i.e., a removable vehicle body, rather than an article. An example, of such a receptacle is a golf bag.
