DEFINITION

Classification: 410/54

Diverse load accommodation, e.g., convertible between semitrailer and container accommodation:

(under subclass 52) Structure in which the freight carrier is particularly designed simultaneously or alternatively to accommodate load units of diverse construction, e.g., container and/or pallet and/or semitrailer, and, therefore, necessitating mutually distinct stowage structures or arrangements to be present on or be assembled to or arranged on the freight carrier.

(1) Note. These subclasses (54+) require a positive structural detail of each of the accommodations; the plurality of accommodating means or, at least, structure particularly provided to cooperate with each of them. Mere retractability for getting accommodation means of a one type out of the way, and going no further than to prepare the freight carrier for an alternative accommodation is inadequate for this subclass.

(2) Note. The original document to structure designed to accommodate a particular article, as defined in subclass 2, and also, alternatively or additionally, a load bearer defined in principal subclass 52 will be classified in the superior subclasses 2+ and should be crossed in this instant subclass (54).
