Improvements in: Tip: Waggons, Vans, and Carts..
I, ROBERT WADSWORTH of the Patent Wheel, Waggon and Implement, Works
Thomas Street, Halifax in the County of York, Sanitary Implement Manufacturer &c.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Firstly An improved device for tipping the bodies of tip wagons & tip carts.
for scavenging, or other purposes.
Secondly-Connecting the fore carriage & framework of tip. vans or waggons,
to the hinder axletree. in such manner, that the same, does not impede the free action
of the tipping device, or of the free action of the hinder springs with which the van
or waggon may be fitted..
The tipping device consists of a worm & rack, a sliding block or worm carrier & a
vertical spindle.
The vertical spindle passes through the, worm, to which motion is imparted by a
horizontal spindle, a pair of mitre wheels & a winch. handle. The rack has a
projecting rib on the back, which is made to. fit into a socket, or shoe, the two being.
held together by a pin in such manner as to admit of a see-saw motion to the rack.
The socket or shoe carrying the rack is secured by suitable means to the front of
the waggon or cart preferably on the inner, side, but it can be fixed to the outside
with like effect.
The vertical spindle which passes through the worm & through the sliding, worm
carrier, is of a suitable length to reach to the top of the rack & the two are long,
enough to push over the waggon or cart body to such an angle that anything inside.
will slide out. The lower end of this spindle is passed through, & by a collar
thereon, rests, on, a horizontal carrier or axletree which, works, in bearings mounted
to the underframe of a, waggon.& to the shafts of a cart,,so. that it will turn as the
vertical spindle falls back to follow the arc the front end of. the body makes, when
being tipped. On the lower end of the vertical spindle a mitre wheel is placed. & to,
work into same, another mitre wheel is placed on one end of the horizontal carrier.
or axletree, this wheel having a long barrel, takes in the end of a horizontal spindle
which by suitable means is secured to the mitre wheel & as motion is imparted to
the horizontal spindle & mitre wheels by means of a winch handle, the vertical
spindle & the worm are caused to rotate & as the worm turns in the rack the waggon
or cart body is tipped thereby, or brought back to position for travelling.
My improved manner of connecting the underframe & fore-carriage of tip, vans
or waggons to the hinder axletree consists in coupling the underframe, to the, axle
by. wrought iron straps, so attached that they will turn on the axle ;, about the centre
of the straps a hole is made, by which the straps are attached to the underframe by
means of studs, or stud bolts, the fore end portion of the iron straps extend along
the inner side of the underframe, &. terminate in slot irons which admit of the
straps making a see-saw-motion. Thus as the waggon body is tipped the iron straps
turn on the axle,,which being the axis on which the body turns when being tipped,
there is entire freedom thereto. Also when the waggon is loaded & the springs on
which it, is mounted, are compressed,, the iron straps "see-saw. on the stud on
which they are placed on the waggon underframe & allow free action, to the springs.

page_text: Improvements in Tip Waggons, Vans, and Carts.
I, ROBERT WADSWORTH of the Patent Wheel, Waggon and Implement Works
Thomas Street, Halifax in the County of York Sanitary Implement Manufacturer &c.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be, particularly described and ascertained in and by the following.
statement:—
Firstly An improved device for tipping the bodies of tip wagons and tip carts
for scavenging or other purposes.
Secondly-Connecting the fore-carriage and framework of tip vans or waggons
to the hinder axletree in such manner, that the same does not impede the free action
of the tipping device, or of the free action of the hinder springs with which the
van or waggon may be fitted.
The tipping device consists of a worm and rack, a sliding block or worm carrier
and a vertical spindle.
The vertical spindle passes through the worm to which motion is imparted by
a horizontal spindle a pair of mitre wheels and a winch handle.
The rack has a projecting rib on the back which is made to fit into a socket or
shoe, the two being held together by a pin in such manner as to admit of a see-saw
motion to the rack.
The socket or shoe carrying the rack is secured by suitable means to the front
of the waggon or cart, preferably on the inner side, but it can be fixed to the outside
with like effect..
The vertical spindle which passes through the worm and through the sliding worm
carrier, is of a suitable length to reach to the top of the rack, and the two are long
enough to push over the waggon or cart body to such an angle that anything inside
will slide out.
The lower end of this spindle is passed through, and by a collar thereon, rests
on, a horizontal carrier or axletree, which works in bearings mounted to the under-
frame of a waggon and to the shafts of a cart, so that it will turn as the vertical
spindle falls back to follow the arc the front end of the body makes when being
tipped.
On the lower end of the vertical spindle a mitre wheel is placed and to work
into same another mitre wheel is placed on one end of the horizontal carrier or
axletree, this wheel having a long barrel takes in the end of a horizontal spindle
which by suitable means is secured to the mitre wheel and as motion is imparted
to the horizontal spindle and mitre wheels by means of a winch handle, the vertical
spindle and the worm are caused to rotate and as the worm turns in the rack the
wagon or cart body is tipped thereby, or brought back to position for travelling.
My improved manner of connecting the underframe and fore-carriage of tip. vans.
or wagons to the hinder axletree consists in coupling the underframe to the axle by
wrought iron straps, so attached that they will turn on the axle. About the centre
of the straps a hole is made, by which the straps are attached to the underframe
by means of studs or stud bolts, the fore end portion of the iron straps extend along
the inner side, of the underframe and terminate in slot irons which admit of the
straps making a "see-saw motion.
"
Thus as the waggon body is tipped the iron straps turn on the axle, which being
the axis on which the body turns when being tipped, there is entire freedom
thereto.

Also when the waggons is loaded and the springs on which it is mounted are
compressed the iron straps see-saw on the stud on which they are placed on the
waggon underframe and allow free action to the springs.

Fig. 1. is a side view of my new device for tipping the bodies of tip wagons, vans:
and carts. Fig. 2. is a front view of same.
Fig. 3. represents one of the iron straps by which I couple the underframe and
forecarriage to the hinder axletree.

shewing the body tipped.
Figs. 6. 7 & 8 are detail parts of my improvements.
The letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures:
A is the worm, B the rack, C the sliding block or worm carrier (which is also-
shewn by Fig. 6) D the vertical spindle and E the socket or shoe all of which
constitute my body lifting on pushing over device for waggons or carts.
The socket or shoe E is bolted or otherwise secured to the front of the waggon,.
van or cart body, and the vertical spindle D has a collar F which rests on an axle G
which turns in mitre wheels H mounted to the underframe I by bearings J.
The axle G has a hole through the middle, through which the vertical spindle D-
passes and has a mitre wheel M placed thereon. The barrels of the mitre wheels H
are sufficiently long to take in the end of the spindle K the reverse end of which
is squared to receive a winch handle L.
The mitre wheels H work in the mitre wheel M on the vertical spindle D and by
turning the winch handle L motion is imparted to the vertical spindle D which
causes the worm A to turn in the rack B which has the effect of tipping the body.
Three mitre wheels are shewn in the drawings by which a winch handle
can'
be placed on either or both sides of a waggon, van or cart but one of the wheels H
can be dispensed with when desired so that the body can be tipped from one side
only.
The iron straps shown by Fig. 3. for connecting the underframe N and the
forecarriage O to the hinder axletree P have a fork or other suitable end Q to fit
on the axle and have a hole with a boss R formed about the centre which admit
of their been placed on studs Fig. 7, which are bolted to the underframe N slot
irons Fig. 8' are also bolted to the underframe N nearer to the front end to receive.
the fore ends S of the iron straps Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1st. The device for tipping the bodies of wagons, vans and carts for scavenging or
other purposes, or setting the same to any desired angle, substantially as herein-
before described and shown by the drawings.
2nd. The method of coupling the underframe and forecarriage of tip wagons &
vans to the binder axletree whereby free action is afforded to the hinder springs
also to the tipping device substantially as herein-before described and shown by the-
drawings.
