B60J WINDOWS, WINDSCREENS, NON-FIXED ROOFS, DOORS, OR SIMILAR DEVICES FOR VEHICLES; REMOVABLE EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE COVERINGS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLES (fastening, suspending, closing, or opening of such devices E05)
Introduced: September 1968
Description
B60J covers vehicle fenestration and closure systems, including windows, windscreens, panoramic roofs, and doors designed for automobiles and other vehicles. The class encompasses both fixed and movable transparent or opaque elements, their mounting hardware, operating mechanisms (such as window regulators and door latches), and associated control systems. Also included are removable protective coverings specifically designed for vehicles, such as weatherproof tarps or protective panels adapted to vehicle geometry. This classification excludes general door or window construction not specifically engineered for vehicle applications, which fall under other mechanical or structural classes.
