THOMAS PALLETT Wheelwright 6 Cambridge Terrace Croyland Road Lower
Edmonton in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The undercarriage being fitted with a steel pin or bolt, running through the end
of guides and body frame, in such a manner as to form a pivot, acted upon by means
of a backward movement of the horse, which causes the forecarriage to run back
into close proximity to the hind wheels, giving a displacement to the centres, and
thereby elevating the body of the van to an angle of 60%. The forward move-
ment of the horse causing the van to right itself immediately, and is kept in position
by a spring bar attached to front of van.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tipping-wagons or Vans.
THOMAS PALLETT 6 Cambridge Terrace Croyland Road Lower Edmonton
Middlesex Wheelwright 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 relates to tipping wagons or vans & consists in connecting the
body and forecarriage together by a frame fitting inside the main sides of body
when in position, working on the forecarriage by means of a wheel plate and perch
bolt, and a steel pin or bolt running through the main sides and summers of the
body, and ends of connecting frame forming a pivot or joint which is acted upon by
a backward movement of the horse causing the front wheels to run back towards
the hind wheels, the hind axle and springs being fixed to the body in the ordinary
way.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawing in which :-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention showing the body in its tipped
position.
a is the body of the van which is carried upon the ordinary spring 6 and axle c.
d is a frame pivoted at e to the body a; the other endel of this frame d is attached
to the bearing of the fore wheels g. is a bar attached to the body a which clips
into the catch pieces i and holds the body in its untipped position; this bar / may
be controlled by a spring if desired being of any well known suitable construction.
It will be seen that when the bar h is withdrawn from the catches i and the fore-
wheels 9 are caused to approach the hind wheels j; the body a will tip owing to the
bearing and spring b rotating on the axle c of the hind wheels; through the
motion of the frame d. By causing the fore wheels g to recede from the hind wheels j
the frame d causes the body a to return to its untipped position when it is again
secured by the bar h and catch pieces i.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. In tipping wagons or vans, the combined construction and arrangement of the
various parts substantially as described and illustrated herein.
2. In tipping wagons or vans, a frame d attached and secured to the fore carriage
and pivoted to the body of the waggon or cart, which is free to rotate on the axle
of the hind wheels, a locking bar with or without a controlling spring carried upon
the body of the waggon or van and engaging on or in catch pieces attached to the
fore carriage for locking the body of the waggon or van in its untipped position
substantially as described and illustrated herein.
Dated this 14th day of June 1894.
