DEFINITION

Classification: 56/13.5

(under subclass 10.1) Machine provided with at least two operating assemblages driven by a motor or engine.

(1) Note. A distinction is made between the driving of harvester components for the purpose of treating or handling vegetation or crop and the driving of harvester components for the purpose of adjusting them relative to one another. For example, a harvester wherein cutting blades are driven and a crop conveyor is driven, or a harvester wherein snapping rolls are driven and husking rolls are driven would be found in this or indented subclasses because in the named instances both units are operating assemblages. However, a harvester wherein cutting blades are driven and a structure that supports those cutting blades or a structure that supports another operating assemblage is repositioned by motor means, or a harvester wherein snapping rolls are driven and the transit wheels that move the harvester over the ground are driven by motor means will be found, for example, in subclasses 14.7+, particularly 15.1+, because the supporting structure and the transit wheels are not considered to be operating assemblages.

11.4+, for a harvester wherein drive trains to plural operating assemblages are controlled by an operator.
