DEFINITION

Classification: 318/17

(under the class definition) Subject matter in which means are provided for portably supporting an electric motor or the electrical system of supply and/or control therefor, the supporting means being particularly adapted for moving the motor or the system from one place to a different place.

(1) Note. By way of example only, the following means are illustrative of portably-supporting means included in this subclass: runners or skids, wheels or rollers, drags or "stone-boats", floating devices or boats, vehicle, airplane, lighter-than-aircraft, etc.

(2) Note. Where the motor is limited to actuating means which propel the supporting means therefor, classification is not in this class but in motor vehicles or in some other appropriate class except in those instances where the combination is nominal and is classified on basis of subcombination elsewhere in this class.

(3) Note. Handles, hooks, eyes, etc., connected to, attached, or built-in a motor are not considered as portably mounting means.

(4) Note. Electric motors with means for adjustable positioning the motor on an otherwise fixed support for the purpose of alignment, levelling, belt-tightening, etc., are not included herein.

(5) Note. See the classes listed under "Search Class" in the class definition for other classes which provide for portably mounted electric motors or portable systems for electric motors. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS
