Abstract: 8455. Adair, J. April 5. Tip-wagons; hopper wagons.-Means are provided whereby carriages such as are described in Specifications 26,773/08 and 8/11 for conveying coal from the working face of a mine may more effectively discharge into the corves on the haulage road. The bridge, upon which the discharge through the hopper x into the corves H takes place, is formed of two longitudinal angle-irons U connected by transverse members C'. A floor of metal plates 26 or timbers is laid between the angle-irons U on each side of the hopper. This floor may be dispensed with if that of the pit is sufficiently even. The carriages which, in the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, comprise two carrying-parts F revoluble about axes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carriage are discharged by tripping blocks N adjustably mounted upon longitudinal rails 18 connecting the upturned ends of the members C'. The contents fall wholly or partly upon the flooring, and the large coal is scraped off into the hopper x by the backplate B of the carriage. The small coal is scraped off by a plate 25 pivoted to the carriage frame S and normally raised out of action by a cord attached at one end to the lug 22 and at the other to a lever 20 having a bent lower end entering a slot 23 in the back-plate B and engaging a stop 24 on the tripping-part F of the carriage. Blocks 27 may be laid in the angle-irons U to prevent accumulation of coal therein. In a modification, the members C' are cut off at the angle-irons U, and the tripping blocks 12, Fig. 6<d>, are mounted in saddles 13, 14 slidably adjustably on the angle-irons. The tripping- blocks are formed of an inclined part 12 and an horizontal part pivoted to the saddle by knuckle joints so as to be reversible. The carrying-parts G of this carriage are suspended by pivoted links F<1>, Fig. 7<d>, and are normally held closed by catches 3 engaging stops 4 on the frame. As the carriage approaches the tripping-block, a projection thereon knocks aside the catches 3 and allows the part G to be tripped by the roller R. The back-plate is shown at B. As the parts G trip, scrapers 25 pivoted on the axles of the wheels T fall and remove the coal to the hopper x. The lower edges of the parts G are cut away at the sides to clear the timbers 43 when discharging. Cross chains may be connected to the haulage ropes or beneath the carriages to assist in the scraping operation. The backplate is also shown applied to another construction of carriage in which two suspended carrying parts are pivoted on axes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
