PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Apparatus for Tilting Barrels, Obviating the Necessity of
Wedging.
WILLIAM HYLAND 2 Dover Street New Swindon in the County of Wilts.,
Coach Finisher, WILLIAM CLISSOLD 14 Gooch Street, New Swindon in the
County of Wilts., Coach Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
A toothed rod made of cast iron or any other suitable material, with a radial arc
on which the barrel rests, which has an eyelet in either end, and through which a
cord or chain passes, and is secured over the top of barrel.
A box bracket in which the toothed rod slides, which has a catch running into
the said rod, so that as the barrel is tilted from the back the said rod raises with
it, and upon its being released the catch drops into the cog, and the barrel is held
in position, and can at any future time be raised higher to the extent of the
Baid rod.
In order to prevent the catch from leaving the toothed rod it is so centred that it
falls of its own weight into the cog, and at its other extremity it has a lip, which
bears on the box bracket, and so keeps its weight over the centre and always falling
into position.
In order therefore to readjust the toothed rod, the lip on the catch must be
pressed against the box bracket, thereby releasing the catch from cog, and the said
rod can be lowered.

WILLIAM HYLAND 2 Dover Street New Swindon in the County of Wilts.
Coach Finisher WILLIAM CLISSOLD 14 Gooch Street New Swindon in the
County of Wilts. Coach Finisher, 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 :-
Our invention relates to an arrangement for tilting barrels by a toothrod A, with
a radial arc at head on which the barrel rests.
By box bracket G through which toothrod A slides, being bolted through
holes K. K to saddle.
And by catch B so fitted in box bracket G as by its own weight it falls into
teeth on toothrod A, so holding the barrels in the required position.
It will now be clearly seen by drawing sent herewith, that by tilting the barrel
from the back the weights C. C. attached to toothrod A at holes E. E. by suitable
connection passing over pulleys F. F. raise toothrod A to the required height,
catch B fixing it and so holding barrel in the required position.
In cases where there may not be room to use pulleys and weights, a cord or other
suitable attachment is fixed at holes D. D, in the radial arc or head of toothrod A.
and passed round the barrel, thus raising the said toothrod to the required height
as before described.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
An improved apparatus for tilting barrels by combination of a toothed rod with
a radial arc, which slides in a box bracket to which a catch is adjusted, the said rod
being raised by suitable material passed round the barrel, or.by weights attached
passed over pulleys.
