Abstract

Device for lateral tumbling of containers, which is designed to cause lateral tilting, in one direction or another, of a container that is supported on a platform stiffened to the chassis of a truck, to produce the discharge of debris contained in the aforementioned container, performing the actual tilting in collaboration with other means of translation of the said container, essentially characterized in that on the side faces of the container and in proximity to its lower edge have provided pairs of short bolts mounted rigidly between pairs of emerging tabs jointly of said side faces of the container, the said bolts of each side being adequately spaced and running very close and parallel to the respective lower edge of the corresponding side face, on whose bolts are capable of engaging respective triggers as trained hooks for rotate angularly with respect to axes on which they are mounted, said axes being fixed to a frame fixed to the platform of the truck; it being provided that the two triggers intended to engage on the respective bolts belonging to each side of the container are simultaneously operated by a pneumatic cylinder whose rod has its free end articulated to a plate on which in turn is articulated the end of a rigid arm linked at its other end to one of the triggers, said plate being likewise fixedly attached to the end of an axis that runs separately and orthogonally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder rod, with the particularity that on the opposite end of such axis it is in turn articulated to the end of another arm that is oppositely linked to the other trigger.
