DEFINITION

Classification: 410/44

Accommodation of article which is massive relative to the freight carrier:

(under subclass 2) Structure particularly designed to accommodate a single article (a) of such dimensions as to occupy substantially the entire space of the freight carrier or to extend beyond an edge thereof (e.g., onto a second carrier), or (b) of such height as to require that the freight carrier load-support area surface area on which the article rests be between and lower than the height of the top of the carrier trucks.

(1) Note. A truck is considered to be a freight carrier for this subclass so that an article bridging a pair of trucks are properly classifiable therein. The article may in itself, or together with on-and-off base, be the sole structure bridging the pair of trucks; for which see indented subclass 45. [figure]
