Claims priority, application Great Britain September 20, 1956 5 Claims. (Cl. 296-28) This invention relates to all-metal fixed-side tipping bodies for commercial vehicles. Such bodies are largely employed for the carriage and deposit of sand, gravel, ballast and the like, and to facilitate the depositing operation the longitudinal sides and the floor of the body merge into each other by way of an arc.
The main object of the invention is to effect economies in the manufacture of such bodies while simultaneously obtaining maximum strength for a given material utilisation. A further object is to provide an improved construction of such bodies enabling them to take up the minimum stowage space while being shipped in a knocked-down state.
The invention comprises the combination, in an allmetal fixed-side tipping body for a commercial vehicle, of longitudinal side panels bent outwardly and then downwardly towards their lower longitudinal edges to form side sills affording lower marginal rigidity, and a floor sheet the longitudinal side edges of which are upwardly turned to form arcuate flanges connected to the side panels adjacent the top of the side sills of the latter.
Preferably the lower longitudinal edges of the side panels are turned inwardly so that the side sills are in the form of inwardly open channels, the inwardly turned portions of the side panels and the floor sheet being connected to transverse members of the floor structure.
A preferred form of body in accordance with the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an exploded view of the body showing in perspective the five main separate parts and,
Figure 2 is a detail sectional view through the lower portion of one of the longitudinal side panels of the body to illustrate the connection of the longitudinal side panel to the floor structure.
Referring to the drawings, the all-metal fixed-side tipping body is constructed in five main separate parts or sub-assemblies as shown in Figure 1. These separate parts are a headboard 10, a tailboard 11, two longitudinal side panels 13, 13 and a floor structure 14 all of which are substantially flat so that they take up the minimum amount of space during shipment and/or stowage prior to final assembly of the body. The longitudinal side panels 13, 13 are formed from flat sheets the upper longitudinal edges of which are turned outwardly, downwardly and inwardly to form upper stiffening channels 15. Along their lower longitudinal edges each of the side panels 13, 13 has an integrally formed side sill 16, more clearly shown in Figure 2, produced by bending the panels outwardly at an obtuse angle to form a downwardly and outwardly sloping portion 17, then bending them downwardly at a similar angle to form a vertical portion 18 below the sloping portion, and finally bending them inwardly to provide a horizontal inwardly projecting flange 19, the side sill thus produced being in the form of an inwardly open channel.
Along its longitudinal side edges the rectangular floor 2,886,374 Patented May 12, 1959 sheet 20 of the floor structure 14 of the body is turned upwardly to form arcuate flanges 21, 21 of slightly greater depth than the side sills 16, 16 of the longitudinal side panels 13, 13 and adapted to be connected to the inner vertical surfaces of the respective side panels just above the downwardly and outwardly sloping portions 17, 17 of the side sills. Such connection may be effected by a continuous weld, as shown at 22 in Figure 2, if suitable welding facilities are available at the place where the bodies are to be finally assembled, or alternatively connection can be eflected by means of bolts, not illustrated, which pass through registering holes formed in the upper ends of the flanges 21, 21 and the side panels 13, 13.
The floor structure 14 of the body comprises a spaced series of transverse members 23 to the upper surfaces of which the central flat portion 20a of the floor sheet 20 is secured, each transverse member being formed from a length of channel section material and having its ends projecting beyond the upturned arcuate flanges 21, 21 of the floor sheet to enable the lower inwardly projecting flanges 19 of the side sills 16, 16 which are aligned with the central flat portion of the floor sheet and nearly meet the latter, to be secured thereto and hold the inwardly open channels and arcuate flanges 21 in rigid relationship. The connection may be effected either by means of bolts, not illustrated, or a welding operation, as indicated at 27, 28. It will be appreciated that the inwardly open channels, arcuate flanges 21, 21 and the outer ends of the transverse members 23 form longitudinally extending boxlike structures which impart rigidity both in the horizontal and vertical planes to the lower edges of the side panels 13, 13 and the floor structure 14. Extra rigidity may be, and in the example illustrated is, imparted to the side panels 13, 13 by spaced vertical stilfeners 24 secured to the outer surfaces of the main vertical portions of the side panels, the lower edges 24a of the stiffeners sloping downwardly and outwardly and being secured, as by means of welding, to the downwardly and outwardly sloping portions 17 of the side sills 16 whilst their upper horizontal edges are secured within the upper stilfening channels 15 of the side panels.
As a further feature facilitating shipping of the body in its sub-assemblies, the corner pillars 25 of the body preferably form part of the side panel assemblies 13, 13 instead of, as in normal practice, being attached to the front and rear transverse members 23a, 23b of the floor structure 14. On final assembly of the body the lower ends of the corner pillars 25 are connected to the front and rear transverse members 23a, 23b of the floor structure 14. It will be understood that also during final assembly of the body the headboard 10 and tailboard 11 are secured to the respective corner pillars 25.
