DEFINITION

Classification: 280/442

(under subclass 400) Devices in which one or more of the vehicles has wheels movably mounted thereon for steering movements and such steering movements are controlled by a change in articulative relationship between the vehicles.

(1) Note. Merely a single swinging axle which is directly connected to the draft connection between the vehicles to be swung thereby is excluded from this and indented subclasses.

(2) Note. The turning of a single dirigible wheel or closely paired wheels of tricycle running gear is included here.

80.1+, for particular running gear construction for a general utility wheeled land vehicle, particularly subclass 87.2 for an occupant steered outrigged wheel, subclasses 98+ for short turn running gear construction, subclasses 124.1+ for running gear including a suspension arrangement, or subclasses 137.5+ for turnable axles neither claiming or solely disclosing a handle nor claiming articulated vehicles.

419, for articulated vehicles each vehicle having wheels mounted for steering movement and steering of the wheels on one vehicle resulting in steering of the wheels of the other vehicle.

426, for articulated vehicles of the semitrailer type in which the trailer wheels are steered in response to articulative movement of the vehicles. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS
