DEFINITION

Classification: 410/27

Including interdeck transfer way:

(under subclass 26) Structure including further structure underlyingly receiving the vehicle wheel(s) thereupon and constituting either an elevator or inclined ramp for transit of vehicles between the vertically spaced decks.

(1) Note. Elevating structure, per se, and nothing more, is proper for this subclass only when, either in itself or together with another elevator(s), it provides a substantially continuous elevated support for a plurality of vehicles at least temporarily, for loading and unloading. The elevator or ramp must be in addition to, and for service between, a plurality of decks level. Absent the above, see principal subclass 26 for an inclined fixed height structure sustaining the four-wheels of a single stowed vehicle and subclasses 14+ for such a structure which is adjustable, e.g., elevatable.
