DEFINITION

Classification: 280/47.131

Tiltable vehicles, stabilized by attendant or article:

(under subclass 29) Vehicles which (a) are inherently unstable when in transport position but are stabilized by an attendant who propels and balances the vehicle by contacting the vehicle directly or contacting a handle or harness attached to the vehicle, (b) are inherently unstable when in transport position, are adapted to be temporarily attached to articles to transport them and are stabilized by some outside force (such as an attendant or other vehicle) contacting the article, or (c) are inherently unstable when in transport position but adapted to be stabilized by temporary attachment to articles for transporting them either because the articles has other wheels or because more than one of the unstable vehicles of this subclass are temporarily attached to the article.

(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.
