Improvements in Tipping Wagons for Roads or Railways.
We, ROBERT HENRY FOWLER, JAMES ROBINSON, and JAMES GOZNEY, all
of The Steam Plough Works, Leeds, in the County of York, Engineers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
We construct a wagon with a inovable body for discharging the load at either
side. The body of the wagon is independent of the underframe and rests on
rollers, upon which the body may be travelled sideways until it overbalances and
so discharges the load. We accomplish the travelling of the body by means of a
longitudinal shaft carried under the body at each end of which we secure a wheel
which has recesses cut in its circumference. These recesses engage with projecting
teeth formed on bearing brackets which are rigidly fixed across each end of the
under frame by leverage a circular motion is given to these wheels and by
engagement with the teeth the body is projected towards the side the load has to
be discharged, the body being carried on the above mentioned rollers.
Dated this 8th day of June 1896.

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 :-

on brackets d fixed at the ends of the underframe b. ee are handles at the ends of
the shaft c. ff are catches in the form of angle plates (shown separately to a
larger scale in front and side elevation, at Figures 5) working in sockets d² fixed to
bars d³ connecting the ends of the brackets d. The points of these catches drop
into the recesses in the wheels c¹ when the body is in its central position and lock
it there.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The combination with an underframe of a body movable sideways upon it
substantially as described.
