DEFINITION

Classification: 280/5.519

Plural distinct modes (i.e., HARD-SOFT):

(under subclass 5.515) Subject matter comprising selection of an elasticity or resiliency value from among discrete, multiple relative elasticity or resiliency values, with each elasticity or resiliency value representing a defined ride firmness.

(1) Note. Included herein are suspension systems providing "HARD-SOFT" ride firmness.

(2) Note. Continuous adjustment or variable suspension systems are not included herein because they do not invoke selection of defined parameters.
