Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 2, 1906.

Application filed August 28, 1905. Serial No. 276,018.

To all-who'm,- it may concern Be it known that 1, PETER SCHNEIDER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Os- I wego, in the county of Oswego, in the State of body;

. component New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dumping-Gars-of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying-drawihgs, is a full,"clear, and exact description. V

This invention relates tothe class of dumping-cars which have the body divided across the center thereof and the two end portions pivotally supported on the car-frame .to tilt endwise and discharge theload through an opening in the center of the bottom of the provedcons'truction and combination of the parts of the car-body and means for tilting and supporting the pivoted end portions thereof, as hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a carebody embodying my invention'.' Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the car-body in its'tilted position, and Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line at w in Fig. 1.

Similar letters of sponding parts.

Y a (1 denote the frame, upon which the carreference indicate correbody-is supported. Said body is composed of a stationary bottomless central section A and two pivoted end sections A A, which are adapted to tilt endwise to discharge the lead the sills a. A The axles c are located at a suitable distance from the inner ends of the bodysections A A to cause them to tilt automatically toward the central section A, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

e represents a stationary chute, which extends horizontally across the bottomless central section A and'is rigidly attached to the side platesb 6. Said chute is sloped or inclined from the center of its width toward the adjacent end sections A A, the bottoms of which extend under the bottom edges of the chute when said sections are in their normal and the invention'consists in an im-- bottoms of the body-sections AA bearings (13, secured to position to close the central opening of the body, as shown in full lines in Fig. 3 of the drawings. For raising the end, sections A .to their said'normal position I employ 'transverse shafts f f, which are pivotally supported in the stationary side plates 6 b. To each of these shafts are fastened arms f f ,the ends of which are suitably connected to the inner end of one of the end sections A by means of rods 9 g or by chains, as may be desired. To the protruding ends of the shafts f f are attached intermeshing gears it h, and to one of said shafts is connected a crank it, by which to turn the shaft, which transmits motion to the other shaft by means of. the gears k h, and thus causes said shafts to turn in unison and lift the inner ends of the body-sections A A by means of the arms ff.

2' denotes a ratchet-Wheel which is attached to one of the shafts f and is' engaged by a dog j, which serves to lock the gears and retain the end sections A A raised to their normal position.

7c are rods on the extensions 6 of the side plates 6, which rods are in positions to receive upon their tops the inner ends of the when tilted to discharge-the load. The interposition of the chute e serves to equalize the discharges from opposite ends of the car-body and to,deposit the discharge central under the body.

To equalize the strains on the two supporting-shafts c c of the tilting end sections A A,

I attach to one end of each of the shafts c c a crank Z and pivot to the stationary side plates 6 transverse shafts n '22 to which I attach intermeshing gears 0 0, which have extending from them arms 0 ,0, the ends of which are connected by rods 9 p to the cranks Z Z, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Said connections cause the shafts c cto turn in unison with the tilting of the end sections A A.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A car-body composedef a stationary central section formed of two side plates, a stationary chute attached at its ends to the bottom portions of said side'plates, and end sections pivotallysupported to tilt automatically from the chute, in combination with transverse shafts pivotally supported in the aforesaid side plates, arms attached to said shafts, means connecting said arms to the inner ends of the end sections, means for turning the shafts to lift the end sections into normal position and locking devices forretainingthe end sections in normal position.

2. A car-bod y composed of a stationary central section formed of side plates, a stationary chute attached at its ends to said side plates, and end sections mounted near the center of their length on transverse shafts to tilt automatically from the chute, in combination- '1 end sections, cranks attached to the supporting-shafts of said end sections, and rods connecting said cranks to the arms of the gears and for the purpose set forth.

3. A car-body composed of astation ary central section formed of side plates extending below the body, a stationary chute extending across the center of the body and attached to the aforesaid side plates, and end sections mounted near the center of their length, on transverse shafts and tilting automatically from the chute, in combination with shafts pivoted at their ends in the aforesaid side plates, arms attached to said shafts, means connecting said arms to the inner ends of the end sections, intermeshing gears attached to said shaft, means for locking said gears and maintaining the end sections in their normal position, stops secured to the bottom extensions of the stationary side plates to limit the tilting of the end sections, intermeshing gears pivotally supported atone side of the central section,arms extending from said gears toward the adjacent end sections, cranks attached to the supporting-shafts of the saidend sections, and rods connecting said cranks to the arms of the gears as setforth and shown.
