PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tipping Wagons or Carriages for Conveying
Hot Materials.
I, DUGALD DRUMMOND, of 186, Bath Street, Glasgow, in the County of
Lanark, North Britain, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows, that is to say:
My said invention has for its object, by an improved construction of certain
parts of tipping wagons or carriages to avoid the twisting or distortion of the
tipping trunnions by heat, when the wagons or carriages are used for conveying
coke, or char, or other materials in a heateil state.
In carrying out my invention the tipping trunnions instead of being fixed
directly on the 'tipping body or shell are fixed on a frame made of angle or other
iron or steel bars, riveted, bolted, or welded together, and the body or shell, which
may be made of plain or corrugated sheet metal, is fixed within the frame by means
of screw bolts having tubular distance pieces on them such as to prevent rapid
communication of heat to the frame.
In using the improved wagon or carriage for coke some water is put into the
body or shell before charging in the hot coke; and when the coke is charged in
the steam from the water quenches the coke in a better manner than is ordinarily
done by pouring water upon the coke.
Dated this Twelfth day of April 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tipping Wagons or Carriages for Conveying
Hot Materials.
I, DUGALD DRUMMOND), of 186, Bath Street, in the County of the City of
Glasgow, North Britain, 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, that is to say :-
My said invention has for its object, by an improved construction of certain
parts of tipping wagons or carriages to avoid the twisting or distortion of the
tipping trunnions by heat, when the wagons or carriages are used for conveying
coke or char, or other materials in a heated state.
In carrying out my invention the tipping trunnions instead of being fixed
directly on the tipping body or shell are fixed on a frame made of angle or other
iron or steel bars riveted, bolted, or welded together, and the body or shell, which
may be made of plain or corrugated sheet metal, is fixed within the frame by
means of screw bolts having tubular distance pieces on them such as to prevent
rapid communication of heat to the frame.
And in order that my said invention and the manner of performing the same
may be properly understood I hereunto append a sheet of explanatory drawings,
to be hereinafter referred to, and showing a tipping wagon as made with my
improvements.
Figure, 1, of the drawings is a plan. Figure, 2, is an enlarged view of a detail.
Figures, 3, and, 4, are elevations as at right angles to each other. In these

page_text: drawings the same reference letters are used to mark the same or like parts
wherever they are repeated.
As shown in the drawings the tipping trunnions, A, are fixed on a frame, B,
made of angle and other iron or steel bars, riveted, welded or bolted together, and
the body or shell, C, which is made of corrugated sheet metal throughout except at
the ends, is fixed within the frame by means of screw bolts, D, having tubular
distance pieces, E, on them such as to prevent rapid communication of heat to the
frame.
If desired the body or shell, C, may be made throughout of plain instead of
corrugated sheet metal.
In using the improved wagon or carriage for coke some water is put into the
body or shell, C, before charging in the hot coke; and when the coke is charged
in the steam from the water quenches the coke in a better manner than is
ordinarily done by pouring water upon the coke.
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
An improved tipping wagon or carriage for conveying hot materials, having the
tipping trunnions fixed on a frame separate from the body or shell which is
plain or corrugated and is fixed within the frame by screw bolts having tubular
distance pieces on them substantially as hereinbefore described.
