PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tip Waggons.
I, ALBERT EDWARD BAYLEY of 42 Newington Causeway in the County of Surrey,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention, the waggon body is mounted, near the centre of its
length, on an axle, which is supported in bearings carried by a frame with which the
wheels are connected, such bearings being situated immediately above, slightly in
advance of the rear axle, to allow of the body being fully tipped.
Pivotted by one end to the body is a forked connecting rod, the forked end being
pivotted to a nut working on a screw.
This screw may be carried at both ends in bearings attached to the wheel frame, or
it may be mounted in a long bearing gimbalied to the frame, so that it may follow
the movements of the connecting rod as the body moves.
The screw will be provided with a handle, or hand wheel, by which it will be
operated when it is desired to tip or raise the body.
Dated this 5th day of March 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tip Waggons.
I, ALBERT EDWARD BAYLEY, of 42 Newington Causeway in the County of Surrey,
Gentleman, 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 :-
According to this invention, the waggon body is mounted, slightly in rear of the
centre of its length, on a shaft or axle, welded to solid plates carried by a frame.
This shaft or axle forms a brace or stay to the frame, which is supported in the usual
way on springs from the wheel axles.
Pivotted by one end, and on both sides, to the upper part of the body, is a forked
connecting rod, the forked end being pivotted to nuts working on screws.
These screws are set at an angle, and are carried in bearings attached to the wheel
frame.
The screws will be connected together preferably by means of a chain and chain
wheels, and one or both may be provided with a handle, or hand wheel, by which they
will be operated when it is desired to tip or raise the body.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a tip waggon arranged according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a front view of the body, and
Fig. 3 is a partial plan view, shewing the construction of the tipping mechanism.
A is the frame, carried in the usual way, and B is the body supported on the shaft
or axle C carried by the frame. D is a tipping rod, which is pivotted at one end to the
upper part of the body, the other end being forked, as seen in Figure 3. D' is a nut
to which the fork is pivotted, and in this nut works a screw D. The screw is carried
in bearings E secured to the frame, and is set at an inclination, or in line with the
tipping rod, so as to relieve the strain on the rod and nut when tipping. I prefer to
have a tipping mechanism on either side of the body B, and to ensure coincident
working, I mount on each screw a chain wheel F, which I connect by a chain F¹, see
Fig. 2. One or both of the screws may be provided with a handle or hand wheel G,

page_text: by which they can be actuated, when it is desired to tip or raise the body. The screws
will be covered by a shield H to protect them from dirt and injury.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
The arrangement of tipping mechanism for tip waggons as herein shewn and
described.
