  • the special structure, mounting, location and operation of the front plate 3 do not pertain to the subject matter of the present invention and may be of the construction described in applicants 'copending US. application, Serial No. 846,141, now Patent No. 3,005,561.
  • the central aperture of the front plate 3 is closed from the rear by a closing flap, as shown in FIGS. 2, 2a and 11 of applicants prior patent, No. 2,834,490, granted May 13, 1958.
  • This closing flap opens automatically during the swinging-in movement of the front plate 3 by means of a linkage which also may be constructed as shown in FIGS. 2, 2a and 11 of the aforementioned patent, No. 2,834,490.
  • a known tipper 4 On one of the two side walls 2 of the chute 1 a known tipper 4 is fitted which effects the swinging movement.
  • the tipper 4 is connected by means of a shaft 5 with a swing arm 7 keyed by means of an eye 10 on the shaft 5.
  • the eye 10 is arranged in a known manner in an aperture in the lower end of the front plate 3 in the center line thereof so that the front plate 3 and the swing arm 7 [are coaxially mounted and have a common swing or swivel axis.
  • a known returning device 6 operated by a pressure medium is arranged and effects the swinging of the front plate 3 and the other parts including the refuse bin, after it has been emptied, out of the swing-in positions in the chute 1 back into the initial positions.
  • the swing arm 7 is formed, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, of two channel irons 8 and 9 arranged back to back and connected one with the other, for example, by welding so that the longitudinal channels of the irons 8 and 9 face outwardly.
  • the swing arm 7 is provided with an abutment 11 underneath the eye 10 arranged at its upper end, which abutment 11 serves for limiting the upward stroke of a lifting carriage 20 in the manner hereinafter described.
  • the swing arm 7 also has a carrier 12 at its upper end below the eye 10, for fixing two cylinders 13 arranged laterally on the right and left of the swing arm 7. These cylinders 13 have piston rods which engage two lugs 19 on the carriage 20.
  • the two cylinders 13 have each at their upper end an eye by which they are fixed on the free ends of the carrier 12.
  • each of the two cylinders 13 has a bearing 37 which is provided with a bushing 36 and fixed laterally adjacent the upper end of the cylinder.
  • The'carrier 12, which in this case is made correspondingly shorter, is equipped at both its free ends with short axles which are provided with .a circumferential groove of arcuate cross-section to facilitate the manufacture thereof.
  • a horizontal bore is provided in the bottom of the bearing 37 and in the bushing 36 and forms with the groove a transverse channel of circular crosssection.
  • a clamping pin 38 holding the'parts in position.
  • the two cylinders 13 are arranged farther up, that is higher in relation to the's'haft 5, so that an advantageous extension of the stroke by 40 to 80mm. is obtained;
  • Each of the two cylinders 13 has a piston 14- with the piston rod 15 which is guided'in the lower-end of its cylinder 13 in a packing 16.
  • the two cylinders 13 are connected at their upper end by a pipe or tube 17 with an outlet leading into the open and provided with a filter. Attheir lower end the cylinders 13 are interconnected by a common feed pipe 18 which servesfor feeding the pressure medium.
  • connection '34 is provided in the'wall of one of the cylinders 13 from which connection a flexible conduit, not shown in the drawings, leads to the tipper 4.
  • the carriage 20 is equipped at its upper end with two hooks 27 on which hooks 27 the refuse bin is hung. Abutments 28 are formed on the hooks 27 for cooperati-ng with the front plate 3, as will be explained herein after.
  • the carriage 20 also has an upper elastic hearing member and a lower elastic bearing bracket 26 for the refuse bin.
  • the carriage 20' is made from a channel iron which embraces the swing arm 7 on three sides.
  • Guide elements 22 or 23 are mounted on the flanges of the channel iron of the carriage 20* in such a manner that they engage in the lateral'longitudinal channels between the flanges of the channel irons 8 and 9 of the swing arm 7 from both sides.
  • the guide elements may, as shown in FIG. 4, consist in a known manner of rollers 22 which are mounted on pins 21 fixed on the flanges of the channel irons.
  • the guiding elements 23 of the carriage 20 may consist of sliding members and, according to yet another form of construction, not shown, rolling devices may be used as guide elements, which are known in engineering as roller rails or needle-band cages or flat cages.
  • the cylinders for lifting the carriage 20 can be constructed as telescopic cylinders.
  • a second cylinder 31 is provided in the cylinder 13 and is guided in a packing 30 arranged at the lower end of the cylinder 13.
  • the upper end of the cylinder 31 is equipped with a piston 29 provided with a circumferential packing.
  • the piston 14 is arranged in the cylinder 31 with its piston rod 15 guided in the packing 16.
  • Below the lower dead center position of the piston 14 the cylinder 31 has a connection 32 for the conduit which feeds the pressure medium.
  • An outlet 33 is arranged below the upper dead center position of the piston 14.
  • a connection 35 at the upper end of the cylinder 13 serves for connecting to the pipe or tube 17.
  • the lift tipper operates in the following manner:
  • the pressure medium feed is opened, the pressure medium flows through a flexible conduit and the feed pipe 18 simultaneously into the two cylinders 13 so that the pistons 14 slide upwardly with their piston rods 15 and raise the carriage 20 together with the refuse bin hanging thereon, until the carriage 20 strikes against the abutment 11 arranged on the swing arm.
  • the air above the pistons 14 is forced into the open through the connecting pipe or tube 17 with the outlet.
  • the feed to the tipper 4 is automatically opened to the pressure medium.
  • the tipper 4 rotates the shaft 5 annd thereby swings the swing arm 7 fixed on the shaft 5 by its eye 10.
  • the swing arm 7 with the carriage 20 and the refuse bin hung thereon thus carries out an arcuate movement until the refuse bin comes to rest with its upper edge on the front plate 3.
  • the abutments 28 formed on the books 27 are so constructed that at the moment when the upper edge of the refuse bin reaches the front plate 3, the abutments 28 engage the outer face of the front plate 3. If desired, the abutments 28 may also be constructed so that they engage the outer face of the front plate 3 shortly before the refuse bin comes to rest thereon. In any case, the force transmitted from the tipper 4 through the shaft 5 to the swing arm 7 is further transmitted from the abutments 28 to the front plate 3'to reduce the wear on the upper edge of the refuse bin and the marginal portion of the front plate surrounding the aperture of the front plate.
  • the abu'tments 28 cause the front plate 3 to swing about the longitudinal axis of the shaft 5 with the front plate, the shaft 5 and the swing arm 7 swinging jointly as a unit.
  • This swinging movement takes place against the action of the return device 6 until the front plate 3 strikes a cushion means 40 arranged in the chute 1, as shown in FIGURE 8.
  • This cooperation of the abutments 28 with the front plate 3 prevents the force of the tipper 4 from being transmitted to the front plate 3 by the refuse bin and its upper edge, so that hard blows or shocks do not occur and damage to the refuse bin is avoided.
  • the closing flap 41 is opened by its linkage 42, 43 and 44 (FIG- URE 8).
  • the closure flap 41 has a lug 45 to which the lid of the refuse bin is connected which opens the lid of the refuse bin so that the refuse can slide from the refuse bin through the front plate into the refuse collecting receptacle (not shown).
  • the returning device 6 effects the swinging back of the front plate 3 and the other parts into their initial positions.
  • the pressure medium escapes from the two cylinders 13 and the carriage 2% slides down with the refuse bin hanging thereon, into its lower extreme position.
  • the two pistons 14 move out of their upper dead center positions in the cylinders 13 into their lower dead center positions.
  • air is sucked into the cylinders 13 from the atmosphere through the filter of the outlet of the upper connecting pipe 17.
  • the filter prevents dust and particles of dirt from entering the cylinders 13' so that Wear is as far as possible avoided.
  • the pressure medium flows through the connection 32 into the cylinder 31 and forces the piston 14 with the piston rod 15 upwardly so that the carriage is raised. Before the piston 14 reaches its upper dead center position in the cylinder 31, it brushes over the outlet 33 in the cylinder 31. The pressure medium then flows out of the outlet 33 into the cylinder 13 and acts on the lower annular face of the piston 29. This causes the cylinder 31 to move upwardly in the cylinder 13. As soon as the piston 29 brushes over the connection 34, which is arranged at the upper end of the cylinder 13, before reaching its upper dead center position, pressure medium flows out from the cylinder 13 through a conduit, not shown, to the tipper 4. This measure, known per se, causes the tipper 4 to automatically commence swinging the swing arm 7 and the other parts, as soon as the vertical lifting movement of the carriage 2% with the refuse bin hanging thereon, is terminated.
  • Another special advantage of this arrangement consists in that the swing arm 7 with the parts coordinated therewith can easily be exchanged. This is effected by pushing out the shaft 5 laterally, with the result that the eye it of the swing arm 7 is accessible and the swing arm 7 can be pulled out through the lower aperture in the front plate 3. If necessary, the chute 1 equipped with an ordinary swing arm without lifting device can be exchanged for a swing arm 7 with lifting cylinders, lifting carriage and so on, and vice versa.
  • cylinders 13 By constructing the cylinders 13 as telescopic cylinders a longer stroke can be attained. Thus smaller refuse bins, for example of 50 or 90 liters capacity, which are low, can be lifted, swung in and emptied.
  • Lift tipper especially for refuse bins, comprising in combination with a chute a swing arm for swinging a refuse bin into the chute, a lifting carriage arranged for hanging the refuse bin thereon and guided along said swing arm, power means for mechanically swinging said swing arm, said carriage, and said refuse bin, said swing arm composed of two channel irons placed back to back, inwardly directed guiding elements mounted on said lifting carriage and engaging in the lateral longitudinal channels between the flanges of said channel irons, an eye arranged at the upper end of said swing arm, an abutment for the carriage provided on said swing arm below said eye, a carrier on said swing arm, two cylinders fixed on said carrier one on each side of said swing arm, pistons slidable under the action of a pressure medium in said cylinders and each provided with a piston rod, two lugs on said carriage in engagement with said piston rods, tWo hooks provided with abutments and arranged on the upper end of said carriage for hanging the refuse bin thereon,
  • Lift tipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carriage is composed of a channel iron embracing the swing arm on three sides, and the guide elements are fixed on the flanges of the channel iron of said carriage so that they engage in the longitudinal channels of the two channel irons of the swing arm on both sides thereof.
  • Lift tipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cylinders are connected at their upper ends by a passage with an outlet leading into the open and provided with a filter and are connected at their lower ends by a common feed pipe for the pressure medium.
  • each cylinder has at its upper end a laterally arranged bearing provided with a bushing, which bearing surrounds the free end of the carrier, whereby a clamping pin holds the parts in their positions.
