DEFINITION

Classification: 414/334

MOVING, WHEELED, LOAD-TRANSPORTING TYPE VEHICLE AND LOADING OR UNLOADING DEVICE THEREFOR, SUPPORTED AT LEAST IN PART INDEPENDENTLY OF THE VEHICLE AND TRAVELING THEREWITH DURING TRANSFER OF LOAD THEREBETWEEN:

(under the class definition) Apparatus comprising a moving, wheeled, load-transporting type vehicle and a device for traveling with the vehicle for the purpose of delivering a load to the vehicle or removing a load from it. The device is not supported in its entirety by the vehicle, although it may receive a portion of its support therefrom. The device may derive its movement from some form of interconnection with the vehicle (e.g., a separable coupling, an arm to contact the means and move it along with the vehicle, etc.); however, it is sufficient if their movement is coordinated in any other manner.

(1) Note. See (2), (3), and (4) Notes of subclass 467.
