NOTE
-
Attention is drawn to the explanatory note following the class title B60


Indexing codes B60G 2200/00 to B60G 2800/00 are dedicated to particular aspects of suspension arrangements:
B60G 2200/00 refers to the type of suspension arrangement;

B60G 2202/00 refers to the suspension elements used (springs, dampers and actuators);

B60G 2204/00 refers to mounting features of suspension elements;

B60G 2206/00 refers to constructional and manufacturing details of suspension elements;

B60G 2300/00 refers to the type of vehicle;

B60G 2400/00 to B60G 2800/00 refer to the electronic control of suspension arrangements, whereby:
B60G 2400/00 refers to input parameters of the control;

B60G 2401/00 refers to types of sensors used;

B60G 2500/00 refers to the controlled action or device;

B60G 2600/00 refers to particular details of the control system;

B60G 2800/00 refers to the result to be achieved by the control action.



Groups B60G 2200/00 to B60G 2800/00 are to be used in multi-aspect classification, so that subject matter characterised by aspects covered by more than one of these groups, which is considered to represent information of interest for search, should be classified in a combination of at least one relevant "invention information" symbol in association with indexing codes from each of these groups.

The following IPC groups are not used in the CPC scheme. Subject matter covered by these groups is classified in the following CPC groups:
