Number: 180/271
Name: Motor vehicles > With means for promoting safety of vehicle, its occupant or load, or an external object
Description: Vehicle having means, not provided for elsewhere, in the nature of an element or device or system, or an operational interconnection between elements or devices or systems of the vehicle, which means has the purpose of (1) protecting the vehicle by (a) decreasing its likelihood of being involved in a collision or other accident, (b) rendering it less vulnerable to damage from such a collision or accident, (c) making it less susceptible to damage resulting from being incorrectly started, operated, or stopped by an unskilled operator or one unfamiliar with the vehicle, or (d) decreasing the possibility of its being entered or operated by a person not intended to have access to the vehicle; (2) protecting an occupant or a load either as a result of protecting the vehicle in one or more of the ways noted in (1) above or as a result of providing a restraint or shield for the occupant or load; or (3) protecting an external object, including another vehicle or an obstacle, either as a result of protecting the vehicle in one or more of the ways noted in (1) above or as a result of utilizing, for the vehicle, external structure which is less likely to damage the object or obstacle.
