PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New and Improved Vehicle for Collecting and Transmitting
Refuse or other Matter.
1, WILLIAM STOLLERY, of the Vestry Depôt, Culvert Road, Battersea,
London S.W. Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
This invention has reference to the collection, and transmission of refuse and
other matter, by road, railway, or water conveyance; and consists of any number
of metal receptacles, slung on rails and running on rollers, which rails are fixed
to a frame on a vehicle of two or more wheels, or to a railway truck, or to a barge,
or other vessel travelling by water.
I construct my invention as follows. I attach a wooden or iron frame to and
above a bent axle. On this fraine, and running from front to rear, I fix one two
or more sets of rails. I support each rail by springs, or standards; fixed to the
axle, and keep all the rails in their proper place by a bar, or bars attached to each
rail, and fixed across the frame, and above the receptacles. I leave each set of
rails open at the rear, for passing the receptacles in and out. On each set of rails,
I hang on rollers one or more metal receptacles of any convenient size, with or
without covers; running each receptacle on to, or off the vehicle by the rear, and
on to, or from a barrow or truck, fitted with rails of the same gauge, for the
conveyance of single receptacles to, or from any building, or other place; or on
to, or from similar sets of rails, fixed in some convenient position for the reception
of daily accumulations of offal, dung, or other refuse.
When all the receptacles are hung on the rails of the vehicle, I close the rear
of the frame, by one or more iron bars, fastened by a slot and cottar on the end of
each rail, and removable at pleasure. These receptacles may be either filled over
the sides of the vehicle; or may be removed into any building, or other place, to
be filled; and from such place may be wheeled out on a truck or barrow, fitted
with rails, to correspond with the rails of the vehicle.
These receptacles when full, I convey on the vehicle above described; by road,
I remove each receptacle from the rear of the vehicle by means of the rollers, and
rails, as described above, for the purpose of shooting or emptying the refuse.
I also fit railway or tramway trucks, or vessels travelling by water, with
removable lines of rails, corresponding with: the lines of rails on the above
described vehicle; and transfer these receptacles to such truck, or vessel, without
emptying the contents during transit.

I WILLIAM STOLLERY of 27 Grayshott Road Lavender Hill London S.W.
Clerk of Works 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 :-
This invention has reference to the collection, and transmission of refuse and
other matter, by road, railway, or water conveyance; and consists of any number
of metal receptacles slung on rails, and running on rollers, which rails are fixed to
a frame on a vehicle of two or more wheels, or to a railway truck, or to a barge, or
other vessel, travelling by water.
I construct my invention as follows
Figure 1 represents a cross section of the vehicle looking from the rear.
Figure 2 represents a side view of the vehicle.
I attach a wooden or iron frame (A) to and above or below an axle (B). On
this frame and running from front to rear I fix one two or more sets of rails (C)
I support each rail by springs or standards (D) fixed to the axle and keep all the
rails in their proper place by a bar or bars (E), attached to each rail, and fixed
across the frame (A), and above the receptacles (F). I leave each set of rails
open at the rear, for passing the receptacles in and out. On each set of rails
I hang on rollers (G), one or more metal receptacles (F), of any convenient size,
with or without covers, running each receptacle on to, or off the vehicle by the
rear, and on to, or from a barrow or truck, fitted with rails of the same gauge for
the conveyance of single receptacles to or from any building, or other place; or on
to, or from similar sets of rails, fixed in some convenient position for the reception
of daily accumulations of offal, dung, or other refuse.
When all the receptacles are hung on the rails of the vehicle, I close the rear
of the frame (A), by one or more iron bars (H), fastened by a slot and cottar on
the end of each rail, and removeable at pleasure. These receptacles may be either
filled over the side of the vehicle, or may be removed into any building, or other
place, to be filled; and from such place, may be wheeled out on a truck or barrow,
fitted with rails to correspond with the rails of the vehicle, or by similar sets of
rails fixed or moveable.
These receptacles when full, I convey on the vehicle above described; by road.
I remove each receptacle from the rear of the vehicle, by means of the rollers
and rails described above, for the purpose of shooting or emptying the refuse.
I also fit railway or tramway trucks,-or-vessels travelling by water, with
removeable or fixed lines of rail, corresponding-with-the-lines of rails-on-the-
above described vehicle; and transfer these receptacles to such truck, or vessel,
without emptying the contents during transit.
I also fix stationary or moveable lines of rails, corresponding with the lines of
rails on the above described vehicle; and transfer the said receptacles to or from
such vehicle, to or by such lines of rails, to or from any place as may be desired.
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 construction of a vehicle fitted with removeable receptacle or receptacles,
slung on rollers, to lines of rails, on a framework fixed to the axle of the vehicle,
substantially as shewn and described.
2nd. The construction of the moveable receptacles, and, of any part or parts

page_text: pertaining to the vehicle, herein shewn and described as adapted to the said
invention.
3rd. The adaptation of this invention to railroad or tramroad trucks or carriages,
and to water going vessels, by fixing lines of rails on such vehicles and vessels,
corresponding to the rails on the above described vehicle, for the transit of these
receptacles without emptying or disturbing their contents.
4th. The adaptation of this invention to a truck or barrow, by fixing thereto
lines of rails of the same gauge, for the purpose of conveying each receptacle to
or from any building or other place; and sliding it to or from such truck or
barrow, directly to or from the rails of the vehicle.
5th. The adaptation of this invention to fixed or moveable lines of rails, on to
which these receptacles may be run for the purpose of filling, or for the purpose of
transmitting such receptacles to or from the above described vehicle, to or from
any other vehicle, vessel, or place, where the said receptacles may be stored, or
emptied, or filled, or for the purposes of transit.
