88	SURFACE FOR WHEELED OR GLIDING VEHICLE:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Amusement device comprising an underlying floor or ground riding surface having an upper surface which is specifically adapted and intended to support and be slidably or rollingly engaged by a mobile person-carrying conveyance which travels or coasts on a wheel or runner type support member over the surface.

(1) Note. A wheeled or runner type vehicle, per se, is excluded from this Class entirely. See the Search Class note to Class 280 below. However, a wheeled or runner type vehicle claimed in combination with structure of a surface specifically constructed and designed for use by such a vehicle is proper for classification here.

(2) Note. Some of the devices included here are slides and chutes which are, at least in part, inclined and which are to be slid, coasted, or rolled down by a person riding in or on a vehicle which is adapted for such use and which is acted upon either by the influence of gravity or of inertia. If the device classifiable here is a slide or chute, water or other means may be used on the upper surface thereof to reduce friction between the person-carrying vehicle and the slide support surface.

(3) Note. For a document to be included here, the surface must either be claimed, per se, or claimed in combination with the vehicle used therewith. Any device within which or upon which a person rides is sufficient to enable classification of the surface slidably or rollingly engaged thereby, even if the vehicle device is a mere mat upon which a person rides. However, the clothing the person may be wearing is not considered to be a vehicle for classification here. A slide of the type in which the body of a person engages the slidable surface either directly or through the medium of clothing is considered a body slide and is, accordingly, properly classifiable elsewhere in this class (472). See the Search This Class, Subclass notes below.

(4) Note. Since a document may or may not claim the person-carrying vehicle in combination with the surface otherwise classifiable here, any disclosure that a person can ride in or upon a vehicle (even if it is only a mat) is sufficient to place the document here, rather than in subclasses 116+ below. Again see the Search Note to subclass 116+ below.

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Amusement device comprising an inclined surface which is specifically adapted to receive the body of a person thereon so that the person may coast down the inclined surface under the influence of gravity.

(1) Note. These subclasses do not include an amusement slide device of the type in which a person rides down the slide surface either located within or mounted upon a vehicular type of device. An amusement slide device of the type in which a person rides down the slide within or upon a vehicle (e.g., within a toboggan, on a mat or sled, or upon skis or skates, etc.) is provided for elsewhere in this class (472). A disclosure that a person may coast down an amusement slide while merely sitting down upon a mat is sufficient for placement elsewhere. See Search This Class, Subclass notes below

(2) Note. The clothing that a person is wearing while coasting down a body slide (e.g., a bathing suit or clothing a child may be wearing at a playground body slide) is not considered to be a vehicle type device. Accordingly, a slide device in which the body of a person engages the slide surface through the medium of clothing is properly classifiable here in these subclasses (116+) as a body slide.
