Improvements in the Carts, Wagons, or Vehicles known as
"Dumping" or Tipping" Carts, Wagons, or Vehicles.
"
L, Claude PrescOTT of The Abbey, Carlisle in the county of Cumberland,
Engineer 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 relates to the carts, wagons or vehicles known as "dumping" or
"tipping carts, wagons or vehicles and consists in arrangements by means of which
I am enabled to release the "tail-board" or "end-gate" and "dump or "tip" a
cari, wagon or other vehicle more readily and rapidly than heretofore and my
invention tends to prevent the loss of the "tail-board"
"of the cart,
end-gato
or
wagon, or other vehicle.
"
"
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a cart constructed
according to my invention and shows the cart in the normal position. Fig. 2 is a
side elevation showing the cart when in the " dumped or "ipped" position.
Fig. 3 is a view of the cart in the position in which it is shown in Fig. 2 when seen
from the right hand of Fig. 2., or from the rear of the said cart. Fig. 4 is an
elevation, Fig. 5 is a plan, and Fig. 6 is a cross section of that which is shown in
Figs. 4 and 5.
Figs. 1,
and 6 show upon a larger scalo a portion of that which is shown in
Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The same letters of reference are applied to corresponding parts
throughout the whole series of figures.
I shall hereinafter refer to parts situate at one side of the cart, and to corresponding
parts at the opposite side of the cart I shall apply the same letters of reference.

a, a, are the supporting wheels and b, is the body of the cart supported by the
wheels a, a in the usual manner. The body b, of the cart is at its rear provided
with projecting shoulders c. d, d, are the shafts jointed to the body of the cart in
the usual manner. Secured to the shafts d, d are arms e, e. f is the " end-gate
"tail-board " to which are secured plates 9, 9 through which are formed
holes h, which by being passed upon the arms e, e enable the "end-gate" or
"tail board" to be at times supported by the arms e, e.
The ends e, e¹ of the
arms e, e are curved so as to form hooks and upon the arins e, e I form collars e³, e.
The collars e, and hooks e' e¹ serve to prevent the plates g, g of the "end-gate"
ог tail-board" from sliding along the arms e, e. Formed through each of the
shoulders c, c is a square hole through which is passed the shank of a bolt i, the
upper end of which is formed with a flattened head j. The parts k, k of
the flattened heads j, j of the bolts i, i are at times supported upon projecting
parts, formed upon metal platos 1, secured upon the shoulders c, c. Each of
the bolts i, i is prevented from being turned by a square portion ³, formed thereon
passing between the projecting portions of the plates 1, 1. When the body b
of the cart and the "end-gate or "tail-board "fare in their normal position, as
shown in Fig. 1 the "end-gate or "tail-board" is retained in position against
the body 6 of the cart by the hooks e, e and the heads j, j of the bolts i, i. Whon
the cart is to be "dumped" or "tipped" the body 6 of the cart is liberated from the
shafts d, d in the usual manner and is then "dumped or "tipped," as shown
in Figs. 2 and 3. The body 6 of the cart dumps or tips away from the
end-gate ог "tail-board" which is left hanging upon the arms e, e.

After
the cart has been "dumped or "tipped" and when such cart is returned to its
normal position the "end-gate" or "tail-board" as the body b of the cart rises,
passes into its normal position and is retained in position by the hooks e², c³ and the
heads . of the bolts i. i.

or
When for any purpose it is desired to detach the "ond-gate "tail-board" ƒ
from the body b, of the cart, each of the bolts i, i is pushed upward until the square
portion is clear of the projecting parts 1, 1. The said bolt is then turned so that
its flattened head may pass down between the projecting parts l¹, 4, and thus the
heads, will pass below the lower edge of the "end-gate" or
" tail-board" f
The "end-gate :3
or "tail-board" f may then be turned upon the hooks e', e' in the
direction indicated by the arrow A until the holes h, h in the plates g, g may be
removed from the hooks e, el. When the "end-gate or "tail-board "has been
replaced and is to be again retained in its normal position the bolts i, i are pushed
upwards until the square portions, of such bolts i, i are above the tops of the
projecting parts, and are then turned so that the heads j,j of the boits i, i will
be supported by the projecting parts, as shown more particularly in Figs. 4, 5
and 6.

or
The "end-gate" or tail-board "can also be removed from the body b of the
cart when the body b of the cart is in the position in which it is shown in Fig. 2.
Although I have above described my invention as applied to a ።
dumping
"tipping" cart my invention is also applicable to wagons, or trucks for use on
railways and tramways or otherwise and requiring to be "dumped " or " tipped."
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 :-
1. A "dumping or "tipping" cart, wagon, or vehicle provided with an
"end-
gate" or "tail-board" mounted upon arms such as e, e secured to the shafts d, d
and held when in normal position, against the body b.of the cart wagon or vehiclo
by means of bolts such as i, i and constructed and arranged substantially as
herein before described in reference to and indicated in and by the accompanying
drawing.

2. For holding the "end-gate or "tail-board" of a "dumping" or tipping'
cart, wagon, or vehicle when in its normal position, against the body of the said
cart, wagon or vehicle, bolts such as i, provided with flattened heads such as j, and
square portions such as 7 constructed, arranged and employed in conjunction with
projecting parts such as 1, secured upon the body of the cart, wagon or vehicle
and substantially as hereinbefore described.
