DEFINITION

Classification: 315/77

(under subclass 76) Systems limited to use with a vehicle.

(1) Note. The word "vehicle", as used in this and the indented subclasses, includes ships, boats, aircraft, elevators, and other conveyances.

(2) Note. Included in this and the indented subclasses are lighting systems for controlling the supply of electric current to lamps in the vehicle. Such systems are included even though the lights are claimed as "head lights" "tail lights", "side lights", "spot lights", or any similar named light as long as the claims do not include any mounting of the lamp or illuminating structure used with the lamp, but claim the lamp by name only. The mere statement that the lamp is mounted at the rear, side, front, or at another part of the vehicle or ship will not exclude the patent from the subclass. This and the indented subclasses include patents, event though no particular vehicle structure is claimed, where the lights are claimed as head lights, tail lights, side lights, spot lights, etc. For a complete search for all systems for supplying and/or controlling the supply of electric current to one or more electric lamps, the search should include the other appropriate subclasses of this class.

(3) Note. For vehicles, ships, and boat structure, see search class notes below.
