CYCLE STANDS; SUPPORTS OR HOLDERS FOR PARKING OR STORING CYCLES; APPLIANCES PREVENTING OR INDICATING UNAUTHORIZED USE OR THEFT OF CYCLES; LOCKS INTEGRAL WITH CYCLES; DEVICES FOR LEARNING TO RIDE CYCLES
Definition statement
This subclass/group covers:
Devices mounted on bicycles, motorcycles or scooters for holding it in an essentially upright position, including stands and stabilizing (training) wheels.
Parking stands to which the bicycle can be locked.
Locking means specifically adapted for use with bicycles.
It is considered that most subgroup titles are self explanatory.
Special rules of classification within this subclass
Unless otherwise stated, classification should be made in the most appropriate place(s), for example if a document describes a bicycle stand that can be used in two modes, e.g. with a single pivoting arm and a U-shaped stand for supporting a cycle with its wheels raised off the ground, then both groups B62H 1/02 and B62H 1/04 should be given.
Where applicable, additional classification should also be given in the following codes:
B62K 2202/00 Motorised scooters (e.g. 'Vespa')
B62K 2204/00 Adaptations for driving cycles by electric motor (for driving electrically assisted bicycles B62M 6/00).
Supports or stands forming part of or attached to cycles
Definition statement
This subclass/group covers:
Stands or stabilising mechanisms attached to two wheeled cycles.If the stabilizers are to aid holding the cycle upright when riding the cycle, means for stabilising the ride in groups B62H 1/10, B62H 1/12 and B62H 1/14 take precedence. Also it should be noted that B62H 7/00 is intended for other devices for learning to ride cycles such as dual controls.
involving means providing for a stabilised ride (training appliances or apparatus for cycling sport A63B69/16)
