*****TBD*****

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Structure for accommodating, by direct contact, an article of the type which satisfies a particular need elsewhere (i.e., is not merely a bearer for the load in shipment, like a container or pallet), which structure is designed, in its contact with the lading, to take advantage of a particular configuration of the lading, or one of its parts, to minimize a carrying problem arising from such particular configuration, e.g., tendency of a cylindrical article to roll.

(1) Note. Included herein (see indented subclasses 31+) is the accommodation of articles by their having been grouped in a particular way or by having been otherwise so arranged on the freight carrier that a foreseeable problem in transit is minimized.

(2) Note. The class definition section, Internal Plan of This Class relating to this and the indented subclasses is reviewed, as follows: placement in this and indented subclasses is on a predominant disclosure basis, which means that, in the absence of a controlling claim barring such placement or an overwhelming emphasis in the total disclosure to that same effect, this is the locus (subclasses 2+) for the original placement of an invention to accommodating means for the particular article. Accordingly: a. A generic invention to structure disclosed as accommodating a semitrailer or container (ordinarily classified under subclasses 52+) and equally applicable to the accommodation of a particular article (a farm tractor in transit, for example) will be classified as an original in subclasses 2+ and will appear in subclass(es) 52+ only as a cross-reference where necessary. b. Subclasses 2+ will take an invention to a load lashing means or load bracing means subcombination for a particular article or group of articles and only a cross-reference will be placed in subclasses 96+, load lashing, or subclasses 121+, load bracing means; the locus for the lashing or bracing subcombinations, respectively, of general freight.

35	.... Grouped together with on-and-off base:

This subclass is indented under subclass 34. Structure further including underlying support structure for the load unit and united therewith by the load binder or press means for and throughout the loading and unloading sequences.

(1) Note. A rigid member underlying a load unit may be merely an element of the press means of principal subclass 34 when its dimensions are not substantially different from the remaining (side and top) press means member; rather than being so substantially dimensioned as to be clearly recognizable as a supporting base for the load unit.

(1) Note. In this way, frequently, the outside corner article is protected from the bend of a taut lashing member.

Image 1 for class 410 subclass 41

42	... Cylindrical article group:

	This subclass is indented under subclass 32. Structure in which the accommodated load unit consists of articles of substantially circular cross section.

43	.. Vehicle body part group:

	This subclass is indented under subclass 31. Structure or arrangement particularly designed to accommodate articles consisting of frame or shell parts for vehicle manufacture or assembly.

This subclass is indented under subclass 2. Structure particularly designed to accommodate a single article (a) of such dimensions as to occupy substantially the entire space of the freight carrier or to extend beyond an edge thereof (e.g., onto a second carrier), or (b) of such height as to require that the freight carrier load-support area surface area on which the article rests be between and lower than the height of the top of the carrier trucks.

(1) Note. A truck is considered to be a freight carrier for this subclass so that an article bridging a pair of trucks are properly classifiable therein. The article may in itself, or together with on-and-off base, be the sole structure bridging the pair of trucks; for which see indented subclass 45.

Image 1 for class 410 subclass 44

45	.. Stowed as a bridge between trucks, or across cars, or on drop-center (schnabel type) car:

This subclass is indented under subclass 44. Structure or arrangement (a) in which the article, either by itself alone or together with an on-and-off underlying support, is mounted at each end onto separate, spaced apart freight carrier running gear structures to constitute the sole connection between those structures while so mounted, or (b) in which the article staddles a plurality of horizontally swingingly related freight carriers, or (c) in which the freight carrier load-support area is between and lower than the height of the freight carrier running gear supports.

(1) Note. With respect to part (b) of the above definition, each of the separate spaced running gear structures (i.e., trucks) constitutes, in itself, a freight carrier and the article, extending from the one to the other extends beyond either one of them. The requirement for placement in subclass 44, under (1) Note of the definition thereof, is there by met.

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Structure particularly designed to accommodate a load unit on a freight carrier the motive force for which is intended to be entirely biologically muscular.

(1) Note. Included herein are horse drawn wagons designed for such facile removal of the load bearer structure from running gear as is common to the more contemporary load carrier stowage technology of subclasses 52+. Because of such commonality that has been brought about by the advance in the state of the art, this type of support or container is classified with more contemporary on-and-off load bearers of this class (410).

52	LOAD BEARER ACCOMMODATION:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Structure particularly designed to accommodate an on-and-off freight support base or receptacle; i.e., such as underlying support or such an enclosure as presumably receives freight thereon or therein prior to being loaded on the carrier and is unloaded from the carrier together with the freight.

This subclass is indented under subclass 52. Structure in which the freight carrier is particularly designed simultaneously or alternatively to accommodate load units of diverse construction, e.g., container and/or pallet and/or semitrailer, and, therefore, necessitating mutually distinct stowage structures or arrangements to be present on or be assembled to or arranged on the freight carrier.

(1) Note. These subclasses (54+) require a positive structural detail of each of the accommodations; the plurality of accommodating means or, at least, structure particularly provided to cooperate with each of them. Mere retractability for getting accommodation means of a one type out of the way, and going no further than to prepare the freight carrier for an alternative accommodation is inadequate for this subclass.

56	. Semitrailer accommodation:

This subclass is indented under subclass 52. Structure in which the accommodated load bearer is of the type provided with running gear at a location limited to the rear portion thereof.

(1) Note. An arrangement of wheels at the front end to facilitate stowage (e.g., guidance) on the carrier will bar placement in this subclass, even though the wheels are nonroadable and have no other use than said storage facilitation [See (1) Note in subclass 66]. Mere lowering of the semitrailer landing gear does not, however, constitute stowage (e.g., guidance) facilitation to make said bar to placement herein operative.

Structure in which the freight carrier support surface is provided with accommodation means of such configuration as to be in engagement with a sidewall of the semitrailer wheel during its movement along the freight carrier to a stowed location or when it is at that location, whereby lateral movement of the semitrailer is thereby prevented.

(1) Note. The mere lowering of the wheeled landing gear on a deck surface is not considered to convert a semitrailer to a four-wheeled vehicle to bar placement in this subclass in favor of lower subclasses 66+. However, additional (e.g., fore-end) wheels to facilitate guidance for stowage on the freight carrier, even though such additional wheels are nonroadable and have only that stowage facilitation use and capability, is subject matter for that inferior subclass and will be found therein rather than in the instant subclass. See (1) Note in principal subclass 56.

This subclass is indented under subclass 52. Structure including a retainer for the load bearer including a part so mounted and so positioned on the freight carrier as to be moved as a result of contact with a load bearer which is being stowed on the freight carrier.

(1) Note. The contact-induced movement may be of the reset type; i.e., undergoing displacement to permit the load carrier to move therepast to be finally positioned, provided that the displacement is followed by spring, gravity, etc., induced resetting for ultimate retentive engagement.

70	.. Retainer* mounted on (corner pedestal)*

	This subclass is indented under subclass 69. Retainer* mounted on (corner pedestal): Structure in which a load bearer retainer is installed to extend and move through a wall of a (corner pedestal)* so as to be load tripped upon the load bearer corner(s) mating therewith.

71	. Corner pedestal:

This subclass is indented under subclass 52. Structure including a horizontal member engaging the meeting edges of a corner of a load bearer and vertical members upstanding from the outer edges of the horizontal member in position to engage corresponding vertical surfaces of said load bearer meeting edges to inhibit horizontal displacement of the load bearer on the freight carrier in the direction both longitudinally and transversely of the freight carrier; the accommodating structure being positioned to maintain the load bearer somewhat raised from the freight carrier surface.

(1) Note. The presence of the horizontal member merely upon the upper surface of the freight carrier floor is adequate to satisfy the "somewhat raised" requirement of this instant subclass definition.

(2) Note. The disclosure is commonly directed, of course, to a set of four corner pedestals for the respective four corners of the load bearer.

	This subclass is indented under subclass 72. Structure in which the corner pedestal is provided with, or is constructed to mount a retainer*, which is effective within the confines of the vertical and horizontal pedestal members, to penetrate a load bearer corner aperture.

74	.... Mounted on pedestal which is also slidable along track:

	This subclass is indented under subclass 73. Structure in which the corner pedestal which is provided with or which mounts the retainer* is itself mounted on guide means for movement toward or away from the location the corner of a stowed load bearer is intended to occupy.

	This subclass is indented under subclass 71. Structure in which the corner pedestal is provided with, or is constructed to mount a retainer*, effective within the confines of the horizontal and vertical pedestal members, to penetrate within a load bearer corner recess.

This subclass is indented under subclass 52. Structure in which the accommodating means is attached to the freight carrier and engages a part of the stowed load bearer adequately to effect securement thereto; i.e., to inhibit displacement of the load carrier on the freight carrier in both the lateral and vertical direction.

(1) Note. Inhibition of displacement in the lateral direction is presumed when means inhibiting displacement in the vertical direction is brought into play. However, merely inhibiting displacement in the lateral direction will not be assumed to constitute, in itself, retainer structure as herein defined but will be recognized only as generic accommodating means. Rigid material hold-down structure of the hold-down type is predominantly the expedient by which to inhibit vertical displacement of a load--and, typically, lateral displacement as well (note, however, the load bearer (load lashing retainer)* in subclass 85). The basics of a hold-down is paraphrased from the definition of Class 248, Supports, subclass 501, as follows: --form-sustaining structure having an undersurface portion for engaging an upwardly facing portion of a article to retain the article on a support surface--; to wit, in the instant context, a load bearer on a freight carrier surface.

(1) Note. Consonant with the scope thereof, the above definition does not comprehend the customary plurality of retainers which, in fact, act independently of one another in their engagement with load bearers. Nor does this subclass include the plurality of retainers; however, interrelated in operation, for cooperating in retentively engaging different parts of but a single load unit.

(1) Note. The "elongated member means" herein defined may be, in fact, part of wider panel structure (e.g., edge, flange; see subclass 108) only when it is unmistakably distinct from the rest of the panel and so narrow as hardly to permit more than a single anchoring to occur at a single location along the row (two would be rare and could occur only under the limitations of subclass 102).

(1) Note. The requirement for either facile securement or disengagement is met where either is disclosed and it is obvious that a reverse manipulation will complete both. Facility in assembling and removal is presumably negated by the necessity to use a tool: but not necessarily. Delivering a light blow to unwedge the device, for example, need not necessarily negate operational facility.

(2) Note. Performance of facile assembly and removal may occur for the tie piece and anchor mounting as a unit; or by association and disassociation of the tie piece alone from the means which mounts it on the anchor receiver and remains with it.
