I, ALEXANDER STAVELY HILL of No. 4 Queens Gate in the County of Middlesex,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a construction of the under frame of a four wheeled waggon
in such a manner that, on releasing a bolt or catch, the simple action of backing the
fore carriage serves to tip the body of the waggon, and the drawing forward of the
fore carriage restores the body from its tipped position.
For this purpose, I joint to the fore carriage one end of a frame which extends
backwards and is jointed at its other end to the floor of the body about midway of the
length of the latter. It is also jointed at or near its rear end to an arm or pair of arms
that stand up from the hind axle being jointed thereto. I also joint to the hind axle
one end of a pair of radial arms or of a single central radial arm the other end being
jointed to the floor of the body near its front. When the waggon is in ordinary use,
the front part of the body rests on the frame first mentioned and is retained by
a bolt
or catch. On releasing this bolt or catch and moving the fore carriage backwards, the
body is caused to turn on the radial arms in such a manner that the front part of the
body is raised and the hind part is depressed or allowed to fall, its contents being thus
tipped out. On again drawing the fore carriage forward, the body is caused to move
back to its ordinary position.
In cases where it is desired not to tip the body of the waggon to its full extent, but
only to incline it considerably downwards at the rear, the radial arm or arms connecting
the hind axle to the front part of the body may be dispensed with, and the frame which
connects the fore carriage to about the middle of the body may be rigidly attached to
the body or may itself form part of the framing of the waggon floor. The jointing of
the frame or floor to the arms that stand up from the hind axle being retained, the
effect is that, on backing the fore carriage, these arms in swinging backwards on their
jointing to the axle, descend, thus causing the rear of the waggon to be lowered, while
the front of the waggon remains at the height determined by that of the fore carriage
on which it continues to rest.

An Improvement in Tip Waggons.
I, ALEXANDER STAVELEY HILL of No. 4 Queens.Gate in the County of Middlesex,
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:-
My invention relates to a construction of the under frame of a four wheeled waggon
in such a manner that, on releasing a bolt or catch, the simple action of backing the
fore carriage serves to tip the body of the waggon, and the drawing forward of the
fore carriage restores the body from its tipped position.
For this purpose, I joint to the fore carriage one end of a frame which extends back-
wards and is jointed at its other end to the floor of the body about midway of the
length of the latter. It is also jointed at or near its rear end to an arm or pair of arms
that stand up from the hind axle being jointed thereto. I also joint to the hind axle
one end of a pair of radial arms, or of a single central radial arm, the other end being
jointed to the floor of the body near its front. When the waggon is in ordinary use,
the front part of the body rests on the frame first mentioned and is retained by a bolt
or catch. On releasing this bolt or catch and moving the fore carriage backwards the
body is caused to turn on the radial arms in such a manner that the front part of the
body is raised and the hind part is depressed or allowed to fall, its contents being thus
tipped out. On again drawing the fore carriage forward the body is caused to move
back to its ordinary position.
The accompanying drawing is the side view of a tip waggon according to my inven-
tion, A the body of the waggon is jointed at B to the framing C which extends back
from the fore carriage and rests on pairs of arms D extending up from the hind axle E.
From this axle E other arms F extend to the fore part of the waggon body. On
releasing any suitable bolt or catch that holds the fore part of the body down on the
frame and on backing the fore carriage the body is caused to tip as indicated by the
dotted lines. On again drawing forward the fore carriage the body is brought back to
its horizontal position, in which position it can be fixed by the bolt or catch.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
In a tip waggon, jointing the body A near the middle of its length, as at B, to the
under frame and connecting its front by arms F to the hind axle E, substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth.
