spindle to the outer end of which is fixed a handle bar, while to the other end
which is near the centre of the width of the cart is fixed an open semicircular
eccentric. On the middle bed of the cart is attached a roller revolving on a pin and
working in the open space of the aforesaid semicircular eccentric.
At the side of the shaft is fixed a semicircular plate with notches for the handle
bar to drop into to hold the cart body in any position when it is needed to be only
partly tipped or with a ratchet end to handle bar dropping on to a bar with studs
in same suspended from the side of the cart body.

Improvements in Tip Carts, Waggons, and Vans.
1 CORNELIUS HAILSTONE of Basingstoke in the County of Hants. Engineer
and Cart and Van Builder, 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 :-
My invention has reference to tip carts, waggons and vans and consists of the
means or mechanism hereinafter described for tipping the body of the cart or
vehicle.
For the purpose of my invention I attach to the shaft or underframing of the
vehicle a transverse spindle to the outer end of which is fixed a handle bar while
to the other end which is near the centre of the width of the cart is fixed an open
semicircular eccentric or cam.
On the middle bed or framework of cart body is attached a roller revolving on
At the
a pin and working in the open space of the aforesaid eccentric or cam.
side of the shaft or frame is fixed a semicircular plate or disc with notches or
holes for the handle bar to drop in to hold the cart body in any position when it is
needed only to be partly tipped.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Fig. 1. is a side elevation of a cart in a normal position with improvements
applied thereto.
Fig. 2. is a similar elevation but showing cart tipped.
Fig. 3 is an end view showing cart tipped.
Fig. 4 is a side view of a four wheel waggon fitted with my improved tipping
arrangement.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
a. is a spindle attached to the shaft or underframing of vehicle. To the outer
end of this spindle is fixed a handle bar b. with a small lever d. and spiral spring e

page_text: attached. At the other end of spindle a. is fixed a semicircular eccentric or
cam c. On the middle frame of vehicle is attached a roller f. working on a pin g.
and running inside the open space of eccentric or cam c. At the side of the shaft
or underframing of vehicle is fixed a semicircular plate or disc h. with holes or
notches for lever d. to drop into to hold vehicle in any position when not required
to be fully tipped or the small lever d. and spiral spring e. can be attached to the
shaft or underframing and the semicircular plate or disc h. can be fixed to handle-
bar b. so that the small lever d. will drop into notches in disc h. to hold vehicle in
position when not required to be fully tipped as shewn in Fig. 4.
When the vehicle is to be tipped the handle bar b. is lifted so as to cause the
spindle a to turn on its own axis this causes the semicircular eccentric or cam c. at
the other end of spindle a. to turn also and working on roller f. attached to vehicle
is the means of tipping the vehicle. When the handle bar b. has made about a
quarter of a revolution the vehicle is entirely tipped so that the body does not come
in contact with the ground.
Referring now to the four wheel waggon shewn at Fig. 4 the parts forming the
tipping gear can be duplicated which is desirable for very heavy vehicles the
spindle a. extending the full width of the vehicle and two cams c. used one at each
side of vehicle fixed to spindle a. and two rollers f. attached to framing one at each
side and working on pins g.
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 :-
The arrangement or gear substantially as herein before described whereby a cart
waggon or van can be tipped.
on or van can be tipped.
