Improvements in the Construction of Tipping Apparatus for Carts,
Wagons, Vans, and the like.
GEORGE ROWE New Road Lower Edmonton Middlesex Ironmonger do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in effecting the tipping of carts wagons or vans by means
of a handle or lever attached to one end of a rod spindle or shaft fixed in a
horizontal position to the other end of the same is fixed a worm or screw
working into a worm or toothed wheel fixed in a vertical position. Attached to
the vertical worm wheel is another rod or shaft working in and through a grooved
pulley sheave or roller, which has a groove in the form of a screw running round
same. This pulley sleave is made to move backward & forward on the rod or
shaft at the same time as it is made to revolve by means of the screw or worm and
worm-wheel. Over this screw-grooved pulley sheave is fixed, a stanchion, at the
top of which is fixed another pulley sheave. To the lower or screw-grooved pulley
is attached a chain. The chain is then passed over the pulley in top of stanchion
and again attached to the lower or screw-grooved pulley. A hook, catch, or clutch
is fixed in the chain by means of which the apparatus can be attached or detached
from the body to be tipped.
The action is as follows: By turning the lever or handle, fixed at either or both
sides of the vehicle, the worm or screw is made to revolve, causing the worm wheel
into which it is geared to turn the screw grooved pulley sheave, and the chain
attached to it. The clutch or catch in the chain is then moved up and down
between the screw grooved pulley sheave and the pulley fixed in top of stanchion:
and the body being attached by means of the catch or clutch is moved up and down
as required.
The apparatus can be fixed at the front, or either or both sides of the body to be
tipped as may be most convenient.

GEORGE ROWE New Road Lower Edmonton Middlesex Ironmonger 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 certain improvements in the mode of or means employed
for tipping carts, wagons, or vans, by means of a handle or lever attached to one
end of a rod, spindle or shaft, fixed in a horizontal position, to the other end of the
same is fixed a worm or screw working into a worm or toothed wheel, fixed, in a
vertical position. Attached to the vertical worm wheel is another horizontal rod,
spindle, or shaft, working in and through a grooved pulley sheave or roller, which
Price 81

page_text: has a groove in the form of a screw running round same. By means of a stud
fitting into groove & fixed in side of frame this pulley sheave or roller is made to
move backward & forward on the rod or shaft, at the same time as it is made to
revolve by means of the screw or worm and worm wheel. Over the screw-grooved
pulley sheave is fixed a stanchion, at the top of which is fixed another pulley sheave.
To the lower or screw grooved pulley is attached a chain. The chain is then
passed over the pulley in top of stanchion & again attached to the lower or screw-
grooved pulley. A hook, catch, or clutch is fixed in the chain by means of which
the apparatus can be attached or detached from the body to be tipped. The
invention is applicable to both two and four wheeled carts, wagons or vans. in
four wheeled vehicles carried on springs I attach the fore carriage to body of
vehicle, by means of a bracket fixed on either side of the body to be tipped,
immediately in front of the rear axle. The joint or pivot by which the fore
carriage is attached being immediately in front of & in a line with the centre of
rear axle. This enables the body to be tipped while the wheels remain in the
ordinary position.
The following description & accompanying drawings explain, & illustrate my
invention.
Fig. 1 on drawing (Sheet 1) is a front elevation of a cart, wagon or vau fitted
with my tipping apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a plan shewing its application to the shafts of a cart or underframe of
a four wheeled vehicle.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 on Sheet 2 shews its application to a four wheeled vehicle, a stanchion
being placed on both sides, both being operated by the same worm, worm wheel &
handle.
Fig. 5 shows a four wheeled vehicle fitted with apparatus partly tipped.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A is the horizontal spindle or shaft attached to screw or worm B, working in
worm wheel C. Dis the spindle attached to worn wheel C. E is a screw grooved
pulley working on spindle D. O is the stud causing pulley to work backwards &
forwards it is rotated on spindle D. F is the stanchion fixed to shafts or
underframe by pivot N. G is the pulley sheave fixed in top of stanchion. H is the
chain passing round pulleys E & G. I is the hook, catch, or clutch into which
the pin J is fixed, thus attaching body of vehicle to the tipping apparatus.
Kis the bracket attached to four wheeled vehicles with springs. L is the pivot
by which forecarriage or underframe is attached to bracket. M is the forecarriage
or underframe to which the stanchion on both sides is attached by means of
spindle D, running through from one side to the other in suitable bearings.
The action is as follows:-
By turning the lever or handle, fixed at either or both sides, or front of the.
vehicle to be tipped, the worm or screw is made to revolve, causing the worm wheel
into which it is geared to turn the screw grooved pulley sheave & the chain attached
to it. The hook, clutch or catch in the chain is then moved up & down between
the screw grooved pulley sheave & the pulley fixed in top of stanchion & the body
being attached by means of the catch or clutch is moved up & down as required.
The apparatus can be fixed at the front, or either or both sides of the vehicle to be
tipped, as may be most convenient.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. In tipping carts wagons or vans the combined construction and arrangements
of the various parts substantially as described & illustrated herein.
2nd. In tipping wagons or vans carried on springs the forecarriage or underframe
is attached to the body of vehicle, by a bracket on both sides of vehicle, pivotted

page_text: to forecarriage or underframe, immediately in front of & in a line with rear axle,
thus allowing body to be tipped while the wheels remain in the ordinary position,
substantially as described and illustrated herein.
