DEFINITION

Classification: 410/45

Stowed as a bridge between trucks, or across cars, or on drop-center (schnabel type) car:

(under subclass 44) Structure or arrangement (a) in which the article, either by itself alone or together with an on-and-off underlying support, is mounted at each end onto separate, spaced apart freight carrier running gear structures to constitute the sole connection between those structures while so mounted, or (b) in which the article staddles a plurality of horizontally swingingly related freight carriers, or (c) in which the freight carrier load-support area is between and lower than the height of the freight carrier running gear supports.

(1) Note. With respect to part (b) of the above definition, each of the separate spaced running gear structures (i.e., trucks) constitutes, in itself, a freight carrier and the article, extending from the one to the other extends beyond either one of them. The requirement for placement in subclass 44, under (1) Note of the definition thereof, is there-by met. [figure]
