Class Information
Number: 180/232
Name: Motor vehicles > With means for (1) protecting motor from impact of collision, (2) utilizing mass of motor to absorb force thereof, or (3) protecting occupant region of vehicle from impact-induced shifting of motor
Description: Vehicle provided with means for either (1) cushioning or isolating the motor of a vehicle from the force created when the vehicle engages an object, (2) taking advantage of the inertia inherent in a moving motor to dissipate part of that force (e.g., by allowing a certain amount of "controlled" movement of the motor), or (3) redirecting the shifting of the motor caused by such a force into a path whereby it is less likely to cause critical damage to that portion of the vehicle in which the operator and any passengers are located (e.g., by providing guide means for the motor, which guide means are sometimes so designed as to also cause some of the force of the impact to be dissipated by the movement of the motor therealong).
