JAMES WILLIAM GLOVER of Warwick in the County of Warwick Wheelwright
and Agricultural Implement Maker. "IMPROVEMENTS IN TIP WAGONS OR CARTS
REMOVAL AND DISCHARGE OF
CONTRACTORS
MUD, DUST AND
FOR
THE
MATERIAL."
These improvements relate to the method of hinging the movable bodies of tip
wagons or carts and to means for throwing them into any desired position and
also to a removable sliding cover for preventing the dust and other refuse from.
jolting over the sides and end of the tip cart or wagon.
In carrying out my improvements I mount the tipping body by suitable bracket
pieces on a horizontal transverse axle carried by suitable V shaped or other
brackets bolted to and standing up from the axle of the main carrying wheels of
the wagon or cart, so that when the fore part of the body is raised by the means
to be described, the body will pivot on the upper transverse axle, and will fall
clear of the axle of the carrying wheels.
The fore part of the body is raised by means of a sector rack bolted to the
underside of the body into which rack gears a pinion keyed on a transverse rod,
and driven by a second pinion on another transverse rod, which is fitted to receive
a winch handle. The sector rack may be double or single acting, and the body
may be tipped up or restored to its normal position by the man in charge of the
cart or wagon, with the greatest ease.
This improvement is applicable to spring or "block" tipping vans, and by its
means the contents of the wagon or cart may be discharged with steadiness and
precision

page_text: In order to hold the body in a horizontal position when travelling, a bar or
toggle lever is fitted to the front thereof, and can be released at any moment.
In order to prevent dust and refuse from jolting over, I provide my improved tip
wagon and cart with a telescopic sliding cover made in sections and so arranged
that one section may be thrust under or over the section or sections in its front or
rear with the greatest ease during loading. To give the desirable smoothness of
action to these sliding covers, I mount them to run upon small wheels or rollers,
which may be conveniently carried in a skeleton frame, which will prevent any
accumulation of mud or dust from hindering their efficiency.
These sliding covers are removable so that when not required they may be
entirely removed.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN TIP WAGONS OR CARTS FOR THE REMOVAL AND DISCHARGE
OF MUD DUST AND CONTRACTORS MATERIALS
This Invention relates to an improved mode of mounting the bodies of tip
wagons or carts the object being to facilitate the tipping of the wagon or cart body
and the discharge of the contents therefrom with a minimum extension of the load
upon the ground
It further relates to an improved mode. of fitting such wagons or carts with a
removable cover which will prevent the dust and other refuse from jolting over
the sides and end of the tip wagon or cart and will check the rising of clouds of
dust while the cart is being filled
In Sheet I of the accompanying Drawings Fig: 1 is a side elevation of my
improved tip wagon fig 2 is a cross section of the body of the wagon and Fig: 3
is a plan view of the framing-The body of the wagon being removed to expose
the underlying parts
In these Figures A is the body of the wagon carried on the frame B which is
fitted with two pairs of wheels C and D-On the axletree D' of the wheels D &
pair of brackets d is bolted-These brackets are drilled through to form bearings
for a cross rod E or bolt forming the fulcrum for the body of the wagon to 'tip
upon.
Bolted to the sides of the body A B are brackets a, which embrace the brackets d.
and are drilled to receive the ends of the rod E which couples the body of the
wagon to the axletree, by a kind of hinged joint as shewn best in the detached
view Fig: 4 F is a sector rack bolted to the bottom of the wagon body, near its
fore end and pendent therefrom. In gear with this rack is a pinion f keyed to a
short shaft mounted in bearings on the frame B and keyed to this shaft is a
spin wheel f. into which gears a spur pinion f³ keyed on a short shaft f, also
mounted in bearings on the frame B-Fitted to the shaft f is a crank handle ƒ³
by turning which the wagon body is tipped upon it fulcrum to the dotted position
of Fig: 1 for discharging its contents or lowered to the drawn position of the same
Figure.
For locking the wagon body in its place a pawle ƒ' and a notched wheel fr
keyed on the shaft fis provided, the pawle being thrown into one or other of
the notches when it is desired to lock the wagon body in its normal or other
position
To supplement this holding down action of the pawle a swing bar may be pro-
vided on the wagon body for hooking under a catch fixed to the framing B. This
arrangement is shown at G Fig 1
H is a sliding cover composed of three parts which slide the one under or over
the other to open that part of the wagon which may be found most convenient for
shooting in the refuse
These sliding pieces it will be seen are arched and they are each mounted upon
two pairs of flanged wheels h For receiving these wheels three pairs of rails h
are provided the same being found on a pair of plates screwed on the sides of the
wagon body
The arched pieces it will be understood are made of such proportions as to allow
of the one piece passing over or under the other and when it is desired to remove
the cover from the wagon it will only be necessary to lift the sliding pieces from
their respective railways I is the tail board hinged at its upper part to the wagon
body and locked in position by means of a swinging bar i which it carries, taking
under hooks or catches projecting from the end of the wagon body. For dis-
engaging this bar from the hooks a rock lever I' is provided. This rock lever is

page_text: fitted to one side of the wagon body and
depressing this handle the rock lever is
disengage it from the hooks and catches
carries a handle for operating-By
caused to tip the locking bar i and
From the above description it will be understood that when it is desired to tip
the wagon it will only be necessary after first releasing the tailboard and dis-
engaging the pawle fe to turn the crank handle f" when the gearing being set in
action the sector rack F will raise the wagon body on its fulcrum rod E and tip it
rearwards into the dotted position of Fig 1.
To prevent the movement of the sliding pieces forming the cover during the
tipping, provision is made for fastening the sliding pieces to the front board and
back rail respectively
In Sheet II of the Drawings I have shewn a modification of my improved wagon
Fig 5 being a side elevation and Fig: 6 a transverse sectional elevation of the
body of the wagon.
In this example the wagon is shewn as fitted with springs K to the underside
of the hinder pair of which sockets a are attached for receiving the ends of the
fulcrum rod E which couples the body to the framing B
Instead of the telescopic arrangement of cover above described which opens by
sliding the parts H longitudinally of the wagon body I shew in this arrangement
an arched cover H divided longitudinally into two parts which slide laterally the
one over or under the other for the purpose of opening the wagon to receive its
load
The two halves of the cover are for convenience subdivided transversely to allow
of a portion only of each half being moved at a time-The parts composing this
arched cover are carried by a skeleton frame H³ of corresponding shape which
provides guides for the parts to slide therein
The arched pieces composing the cover are each provided with a handle for
moving them in their guides to open and close the wagon as desired.
The tipping of the wagon body is effected by precisely similar means to that
described and the wagon is similarly provided with a hinged tailboard
Having now set forth the nature of my Invention of " Improvements in
Tip Wagons or Carts for the Removal and Discharge of Mud Dust and Contractors'
Materials" and explained the manner of carrying the same into effect, I wish
it to be understood that under the above in part recited Letters Patent I
claim :-
:-
First In a tip wagon or cart mounting the body on a raised fulcrum carried by
the main axletree as above described, whereby, when the body is tipped, it will
move' rearwards clear of the main axle.
Secondly The construction of sliding covers for tip wagons or carts as described
with reference to the Drawings.
In witness whereof I the said James William Glover have hereunto set my
hand and seal the Eighth day of July in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty two,
Signed sealed and delivered by the
said James William Glover in the
presence.of.
