Improvements in Tip Carts, Waggons, or Vans.
I, CORNELIUS HAILSTONE, of Basingstoke, in the County of Hants, Engineer
and Cart and Van Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows;
-
My invention has reference to tip carts, waggons, and vans and consists of
the means or mechanism hereinafter described for tipping the body of the cart
or vehicle.
For the purpose of my invention I attach to the shaft or under framing of
the vehicle a transverse spindle to which is fixed at the outer end a quadrant
wheel with cogs and at the other or inner end of spindle which is near the
centre of the width of the body of the vehicle is fixed a semicircular eccentric
or cam inside of which is a roller revolving on a pin or rod attached to the body
of the vehicle. On the same under framing is also fixed a bar with a double cog
wheel, one working in the aforesaid quadrant wheel and the other in a pinion
fixed to another spindle attached to the same under framing at the outer end
of which is attached a winch handle.
Towards the back end of the vehicle the body is hinged by means of drop
joints which are attached to the framing of the body and to the under framing
and connected by pins or rods, these joints acting as a centre whereon the vehicle
is tipped.
I may combine with this tipping arrangement, a substantial galvanized sheet
cover with iron brackets or carriers on which are grooved rollers working on
iron rods attached to the top beam of the vehicle and sliding horizontally one
over the other. By this means an opening is made to allow for collecting a
load, and the load is also covered in.

· Improvements in Tip Carts, Waggons, or Vans.
I, CORNELIUS HAILSTONE, of Basingstoke, in the County of Hants, Engineer
and Cart and Van Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
[Price 8d.1

page_text: and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
My invention has reference to tip carts, waggons and vans and consists of
the means or mechanism hereinafter described for tipping the body of the cart
or vehicle.
For the purpose of my invention I attach to the shaft or under framing of
the vehicle a transverse spindle to which is fixed at the outer end a quadrant
wheel with cogs; and at the other or inner end of spindle which is near the
centre of the width of the body of the vehicle is fixed all eccentric
or cam inside of which is a roller revolving on a pin or rod attached to the body
of the vehicle. On the same under framing is also fixed a bar with a double cog
wheel, one working in the aforesaid quadrant wheel and the other in a pinion
fixed to another spindle attached to the same under framing at the outer end
of which is attached a winch handle.
Towards the back end of the vehicle the body is hinged by means of drop
joints which are attached to the framing of the body and to the under framing
and connected by pins or rods, these joints acting as a centre whereon the vehicle
is tipped.
I may combine with this tipping arrangement, a substantial galvanized sheet
cover with iron brackets or carriers on which are grooved rollers working on
iron rods attached to the top beam of the vehicle and sliding horizontally one
over the other. By this arrangement an opening is made to allow for collecting a
load, and the load is also covered in.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood I will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawings accompanying this
specification in which, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a cart in its normal position,
with my improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar elevation but shew-
ing cart tipped. Fig. 3 is an end view shewing cart tipped. Fig. 4 is a side
view of a four wheel waggon or van fitted with my improved tipping arrange-
ments; Fig. 5 is a plan of cover, on a smaller scale; and Fig. 6 a detail herein-
after referred to.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the views.
a is a spindle attached to the shaft or underframing of the vehicle, at the
outer end of which is fixed a quadrant wheel b, with cogs, and at the other or
inner end of spindle a which is near the centre of the width of vehicle is fixed
a cam cinside of which is a roller d revolving on a bar or pin e; on the under
framing is also fixed a bar f with a double cog wheel g, one wheel working in
the aforesaid quadrant wheel 6 and the other in a pinion h fixed to another
spindle attached to the same under framing at the outer end of which is a
winch handle k.
When the vehicle is to be tipped, the winch handle k is turned, so causing
the spindle i to which is fixed the pinion h to revolve on its own axis, and this
said pinion h working in the double cog wheel a causes it to revolve on the bar f,
thereby working the quadrant wheel 6, which is fixed to the spindle a. By this
means the cam c at the inner end of spindle a is raised, and, working the roller d,
causes the vehicle to be tipped at the drop joints L working on the pins m as a
centre.
Also I combine with this tipping arrangement, a substantial galvanized sheet
cover (shewn in plan at Fig. 5) with brackets or carriers n on which are grooved
rollers o working on rods or pins p attached to the top beam r of the vehicle and
sliding horizontally one over the other. By this means an opening is made to
allow for collecting a load, also the load may be entirely covered in when it is
collected.
The manner in which the grooved rollers o work on the rods p is shewn at
Fig. 6.

page_text: 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:-
1. In carts, waggons or vans, mechanism for tipping the same, constructed
substantially as herein described and illustrated on the accompanying drawings.
2. In carts, waggons or vans, the sliding cover constructed and arranged
substantially as herein described and illustrated on the accompanying drawings.
