Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 13,794. Howard, J. W. June 7. Tip-wagons.-The body of a tipping-wagon is tipped to either side by means of rope or chains acted upon by a rod or bar, which is reciprocated longitudinally by air or other fluid under pressure. The body is locked in its travelling position by stops, which act on depending pieces on each side of the wagon body, and are operated by fluid pressure. Fig. 2 shows a tip-wagon operated by compressed air, which is contained in a reservoir 10 and led through a valve 11 and pipes 12 to opposite ends of a closed cylinder 2. A piston 3 works in the cylinder 2, and is connected to a rod 4 carrying pulleys 6, 6<A>. Chains 7, 7<A>, secured at one end to the frame and at the other end to opposite sides of the body, are passed round the pulleys 6, 6<A> and over jockey pulleys 8, 8<A>, so that the body is tipped to one side or the other as the piston 3 is displaced. The speed of tipping is controlled by the valve 11, which regulates the escape of air from either end of the cylinder, equal pressure being normally maintained in the two ends. To lock the body in its travelling position, sliding stops 14 bear upon depending arms 13 on the body, preferably two such arms being arranged on each side. The stops are withdrawn against the action of springs by links 16 and levers 17 operated by compressed - air cylinders 19. Air is supplied to the cylinders 19 through the valve 11 and pipes 20, which may communicate with the cylinders directly or through distributing-valves 21.
