K, a. Y.
Application filed June 5, 1918. Serial No. 771,925. A
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH BART, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York, borough of Manhattan, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention is a refuse vehicle, more particularly designed for employment in municipalities where garbage, ashes and like refuse is systematically collected and removed.
In the method of collecting city refuse now commonly employed, the receptacle of the refuse vehicle permits odors, as well as dust and other particles of undesirable matter to escape therefrom. This is not only obnoxious, but unhealthy.
An aim of this invention is to overcome such disadvantages in previous devices by securely closing the receptacle or body of the refuse vehicle and to provide means whereby but little, if any, odors will escape therefrom. This ing the usual process of filling the body or receptacle of the vehicle in the street, or house to house collections, where small deposits are frequently made into the vehicle receptacle.
A further purpose of the'invention is to lighten labor of the attendant or attendants by acilitating the lifting and dumping operations of a smaller receptacle, such as the usual portable refuse can. 1
Furthermore, it has been observed that the portable metallic refuse cans are frequently so battered and bent out of shape by rou h handling in dumping the contents lnto t e vehicle body or receptacle, that their covers do not adequately seal the contents of-the can. The device of this invention not only saves the labor of the attendant in discharging the contents from the portable can, but also prevents the can from being injured by contact with the body of the vehicle.
Furtherv objects and advanta es of the invention will appear, from the ollo-W'ing detailed description of the invention, taken in accompanying drawings, in which one embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention as applied to a dumping ash cart. F1 longitudinal section through the bod y cart on the line 22.ofF1g. 1.. Fi

and substantially surrounding the same, is
a hood, havin means for closing the opening. .A movable receptacle carrying frame is mounted upon the vehicle and is adapted to be 0 erated for conveying and dumping such as a metallic can ordinarily employedat residences to store ashes, and the like. The frame is so mounted that the portable can may be placed thereon at a convenient height,.thence b moving the frame, said can may be lifted conveyed to the hood, nd the contents thereof discharged through the charging opening in the cover of the vehicle body, where upon the can may be returned to its initial position.. cans are provided, also, whereby the can may be secured against displacement onjthe frame.
A preferred form of the invention is disclosed in the accompa yin" drawings wherein the vehicle body 10 is shown in the form of an ash cart having the rearwardly inclined dilm portion. The up er portion of this ody is closed by a suita le cover 11. This cover may be made of any desired material, such as canvas,-'and is with an opening 12, shown in the provided rawings as positioned near the forward end of the body. 1118 opening l2'serv1n whereby the body may be fille with material to .be conveyed.

is a perspective view.
showing the can se ich is preferably aim another embodiment I and quickly gained to the interior of the body, when it is found desirable to distribute the load.
Any suitable means may be employed to givestability to v ,the cover, should a flexible onebe employed, and any suitable devices may be usedto fasten the cover to the body.
It is preferred, however, to place a suitable frame 13 at the forward end of the body,
said frame'serving as a, base for a refuse guiding element, shown as a hood 14 mounted to substantially conceal and close the opening 12. I I
The hood 14 may be made of the same ma terial as the. cover 11 or may be of different material; Itpreferably extends up- Wardly and rearwardly from sald cover and frame leaving the rear end thereof open,
' for the purpose of introducing the portable -'house can or receptacle therein. A stop 15 plate 15 is mounted at this open portion of the hood, operating tolimit the forward movement of the receptacle carrying frame and to serve as means for jarring the can to assist in removing its contents. This plate 15, is preferably positioned at an angle to the plane of the cover, and serves also as means to prevent the dropping of refuse on'the. cover and as a chute for dlrectlng Y the contents of the can through the opening 12. Suitable means are employed for closing said opening 12 to prevent dust and o'dors'from escaping from the vehicle body. One means for accomplishing this result is shown in Fig. 2 as a plate 16, pivotally mounted at 17 to swing within said hood and cut off communication from the interior of the cart. The free end of this plate is adapted to engage, and be stopped by, the
plate or door 16 is'opened automatically to expose theppening 12 by contact with a portable receptacle, when inserted in the hood '14 in a dumping position.
A frame is rovided for holding the portable receptac e and conveying the same to the hood 14. This frame is shown as comprising a U- haped member 18, having arms 18 serving as means for pivotally mounting said frame on the body 10 in such a manner that its bar connecting the arms 18 may be moved over the vehicle body. Any suitable means may be employed for moving this frame on thevbody, such as the handle 19.
Suspended from the transverse bar 18 is a-receptacle holder which is rigidly mounted on the bar. This holder may be of any preferred form, but is shown having two depending arms 20 provided with a base 21 upon which the portable can is adapted to be seated. The. arms and base may be made of a single piece of ,metal. A can member 22 is carried by the base, and if desired, this member 22 may be adjustably mounted thereon to accommodate receptacles of different diameters. Retaining means are provided also for engaging the upper portion of the can. In Fig. 5, this means is shown as aspring actuated catch 23 so mounted that'its hook or can engagretaining ing member 2 1 will engage the upper edge of the can near the bar 18. The catch 23 is held in its engaging position by the spring 25.
The forward movement of the pivotal frame 18 is limited by the hood 14:, while its rearward movement'is limited by a suitable stop can holder will be brought at a convenient height for the attendant to place a loaded can thereon prior to dumping the contents thereof into the vehicle body;
In Fig. 6, the hood 14 is omitted and the member 26, so positioned that the plate 16 is suspended for swinging orpivotal movement from a bail-like frame 27. The charging opening 12 in cover 11 is closed by a cover member 28 which is preferably attached at 29 to the plate 16. This cover member 28 may be in the form of a slid-able plate or it may be a strip of fabric, such as canvas. In operation, the attendant places a can on the holdertof the frame sothat said can will rest on the platform 21 and be engaged by the retaining member 22. The catch 23 is operated to engage the upper peripheral edge of the. can, whereupon the handle 19 may be moved to convey the holder and its can from the rear of the cart, over the end thereof and into engagement with the hood 14:. The can is thus changed from a substantially vertical position to a substantially horizontal position, or an inclined position beyond the horizontal. Guide plate 15 prevents the discharge of material onthe cover, and guides such material into the opening 12. The door or plate 16 is moved to its opened position by the pressure of material against the same, or by contact with the upper end of the can. After the can is dumped, the frame and can are returned to its igitial position, as will be readily understoo Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. In a refuse vehicle, the combination with a body having an inclined rear wall, of a removable cover having an opening provided with a gravity operated closure, a bail-like frame pivoted to the sides of the body and adapted to move in an arcuate path over the body, means to secure a receptacle to the frame, and means on said inclined rear wall to support the bail-like frame in a plane below that of the cover.
2. A refuse vehicle provided with a cover having an opening, an oscillatory bail-like member pivotally mounted on the vehicle at the sides thereof to move longitudinally over the vehicle body, a receptacle frame secured'to said oscillatory member to hold a receptacle in a fixed position thereon, a hood for said opening and having an entrance on a line substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and in the path of movement of said receptacle frame, said hood operating to house a receptaclecarried by said frame when in a dumping position, and means at the side of the vehicle to move said oscillatory member toward and from said hood.
3. A refuse vehicle of the dumping type provided with an oscillatory bail-like frame pivotally mounted to the sides of the body near one end thereof, brackets at the rear of the vehicle and below the discharge mouth thereof to serve as a rest for the bail-like frame, a receptacle holder secured substantially central of said bail-like frame to be carried thereby, said holder comprising a plurality of depending parallel spaced arms united to form a base whereby a portable receptacle may be positioned to rest on the base and between the arms, means on said base to engage the receptacle, and means on the bail-like frame to engage the top of a receptacle to hold the same during themove- Lnent of the bail-like frame over the vehicle 4. A refuse vehicle comprising a body, a bail-like frame pivotany mounted on and adapted to oscillate over the body, a receptacle holder comprising a plurality of spaced arms terminating in a base, a spring actuated catch carried by said frame between said spaced arms and adapted to engage the upper end of a receptacle to rigidly secure the same in transit, and means to oscillate said frame.
5. A refuse vehicle comprising a body, a removable cover having a charging opening near the forward end thereof, a bail-like frame pivoted to the sides of the body, said cover being provided with a longitudinally inclined hood having an opening toward the rear of the vehicle, gravity operated means suspended intermediate the ends of said hood to normally close the opening, and means on the frame to rigidly hold a receptacle during pivotal movement of the frame over the body and to direct the receptacle to dump its contents in said hood.
(3. A refuse vehicle comprising a body, a 'frame pivotally mounted near one end of the body, a receptacle holder rigidly secured to said frame and comprising a plurality of spaced arms joined to form a base, and spring actuated catches on said holder base and pivoted frame for engaging the top and bottom of a receptacle.
