Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 78 words
A guide for the movement of the walls of vehicle bodies of the extendable wall type comprising fixed on the chassis of the vehicle, an elongated casing and arranged telescopically therein at least one beam member constituted of sections, said beam member having a plurality of wheels mounted on ball bearings, said elongated casing having a cross-section of shaped profile substantially in the form of a double T, whose shaping defines internal longitudinal rolling tracks for said wheels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 78 words
A guide for the movement of the walls of vehicle bodies of the extendable wall type comprising fixed on the chassis of the vehicle, an elongated casing and arranged telescopically therein at least one beam member constituted of sections, said beam member having a plurality of wheels mounted on ball bearings, said elongated casing having a cross-section of shaped profile substantially in the form of a double T, whose shaping defines internal longitudinal rolling tracks for said wheels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 143 words
A guide for the movement of the walls of vehicle bodies of the extendable wall type, comprising, fixed on the chassis of the vehicle, an external beam member in the form of an elongated casing, and arranged telescopically therein an intermediate beam member having a hollow cross-section of shaped profile, substantially in the form of a double T, and an internal beam member, said internal beam member having a plurality of wheels mounted on ball bearings, and said external beam member having guiding rollers for said intermediate beam member, said double T shaped profile of said intermediate beam member defining externally longitudinal rolling tracks in guiding engagement with said guiding roller of said external beam member, and said double T shaped profile of said intermediate beam member defining internally further longitudinal rolling tracks for said plurality of wheels of said internal beam member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 143 words
A guide for the movement of the walls of vehicle bodies of the extendable wall type, comprising, fixed on the chassis of the vehicle, an external beam member in the form of an elongated casing, and arranged telescopically therein an intermediate beam member having a hollow cross-section of shaped profile, substantially in the form of a double T, and an internal beam member, said internal beam member having a plurality of wheels mounted on ball bearings, and said external beam member having guiding rollers for said intermediate beam member, said double T shaped profile of said intermediate beam member defining externally longitudinal rolling tracks in guiding engagement with said guiding roller of said external beam member, and said double T shaped profile of said intermediate beam member defining internally further longitudinal rolling tracks for said plurality of wheels of said internal beam member.
