Abstract

970. Marcq, C., and Helson, O. Jan. 12. Tip-wagons.-The body of a tipwagon is supported at each end on a slideway of V or concave shape, and the points of support, during tipping, move inwards away from the tipping side. As shown in Fig. 1, the body is supported by two pins 3, 3<1> resting on a V-shaped runway 1 forming part of a wheeled frame 2. In Fig. 2 the body is shown provided with a rocker 6 resting on a V-shaped support 1, and with pins 3, 3<1>, which come into engagement with the V-shaped support during the tipping operation. In the form shown in Fig. 5, a central rocker 9 engages an upper slideway 7, while side pins 3, 3<1> engage a lower slideway 1 during tipping. A central pin may be substituted for the central rocker 9. Fig. 6 shows the body supported on rollers 13 on a semicircular runway 1. The rollers are secured to pinions 10 engaging on their outer side with a fixed semicircular rack 11, and on their inner side with a spur wheel 12 operated by a crank handle and pinion 14. A roller 17 mounted in a bracket beneath the body engages a runway 18 on the frame base.
