DEFINITION

Classification: 414/474

By adjustably attaching element of running gear (e.g.,., wheel, axle, etc.) to load-receiving portion, or support member (e.g.,., chassis, frame, etc.) therefor, to enable relative movement therebetween:

(under subclass 469) Apparatus wherein the means enabling pivotable movement includes structure for connecting one or more elements of the running gear of the vehicle to the load-receiving portion, or to a member of the vehicle which serves to support the portion, in such a manner that the element may move relative to the portion (or member), or vice versa.

(1) Note. "Adjustable", as used herein, is intended to include, as well, the removal of an element of the running gear.

(2) Note. "Running gear" does not include a vehicle attachment (e.g.,., dolly, truck, etc.) which is placed in a ground-engaging position only when it is desired to stabilize the vehicle (e.g.,., a trailer) in its nontransit mode.
