ATTORNEYS HERMAN MECKING', OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
DUMP-WAGON.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 305, 1916.
Application filed November 18, 1915. Serial No. 62,131.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERMAN MECKING, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Dump-Wagon, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to dump wagons and has reference more particularly to the dumping end thereof.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple, strong and inexpensive dumping wagon which will not allow any liquid matter present in the wagon to leak out.
A further object of the invention is to provide a dumping wagon operable from the front end of the wagon and in which the engagement of the dumping trap with the rear end of the wagon is rendered noiseless.
With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my wagon, the rear end of which is partially in section to show the details of construction; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the wagon in the dumping position; Fig. 3 is a fra mentary side elevation of the rear end of the wagon partly in section to show the details of construction; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section on line 4-4, Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a perspective elevation of the body locked at the front end of the wagon.
Referring to the drawings, 6 represents the body of the wagon, which is preferably made of sheet iron. The bottom. 7 of the wagon slopes from the ends toward the middle thereof, and the rear end slopes toward the bottom, so that the length of the body is greater near the bottom, while the width of the wagon is substantially uniform. The top of the body is closed, and a suitable door 8 is provided through which the wagon body is charged. Trunnions 9 are provided on the sides of the wagon body in the central part thereof adjacent the bottom of the body, the trunnions being carried by bearings 10 provided on the longitudinal frame members 11 of the wagon. In view of the fact that the bottom of the wagon slopes toward the central part thereof the front and rear ends in the normal position of the body, as shown in Fig. 1, are above the trunnions 9.
The rear end of the body is normally closed by a trap formed of two sections 12 and 13. Section. 12, is hinged to the body at the top thereof, and section 13 is secured at its lower end to the ends of the longitudinal frame members 11. Section 13 has an inwardly directed flange 14 at the top thereof normally overlapping a flange 15 of the section 12 directed outwardly. The section 13 has also an inwardly directed flange 16 adjacent the bottom edge thereof and adapted to come in contact with the bottom 7 when the flang 15 comes in contact with the flange 1.4 of the section 13. The side edges of the section 13 have inwardly directed flanges 17 adapted to engage the sides of the body and at the ends of which flanges laterally, outwardly directed flanges 18 are formed. The flanges 18 are preferably connected by a brace or reinforcing member 19,
forming an integral part of the flanges 17 and 18, to the adjacent end of the longitudinal frame member 11. The flanges 18 are preferably in a plane parallel to the plane of the section 13. Secured to each of said flanges 18 is a gasket 20 preferably formed of a leather strap. A lateral flange 21 is provided on each side of the body adjacent the rear sloping edge for engaging the gasket carried by the flange 18 when the body is in normal position, as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4. By forming the joint between the section 13 and the body beyond the sloping edge of the sides of the body the flow to the joint is broken and, therefore, the possibility of leakage is reduced. It will be noted that the engagement of the flanges 14 and 15 of the sections 12 and 13 brings the section 12 into engagement with the sloping edges of the sides of the body.
To prevent an accidental displacement of the body on its trunnions, a tongue 22 is provided at the front of the body adjacent the bottom thereof which is normally engaged by a lever 23 pivotally mounted atone end thereof in a swivel 24 which is in turn secured to a transverse member 25 extending between the longitudinal frame members 11. A bracket 26, also mounted on said transverse member, is adapted to receive the lever. Locking means 27 are provided in said bracket for retaining the'lever, whereby the tongue is locked to the transverse member. When the body is to be dumped thelocking means 27 are removed from the bracket, thus the lever 23 can be swung out of the bracket and to one side thereof, so as to permit a free movement to the tongue when the body is moved on its trunnio-ns to the dumping position. It will be noted that as the body moves on its trunnions the section 12 participates in the movements of the body, while section 13 is undisturbed. The flange 15 is so designed that it will pass clear of the flange 16 in the downward movement of the body. The inclination of the flanges 18 is also such that the flange 21 can move freely. Due to the fact that the bottom 7 at the rear of the wagon is normally above the trunnions 9, the body 6 has a larger angular swinging movement on its trunnions than it would have if the bottom thereof was not sloping as has been described. Furthermore, the sloping bottom causes an accumulation of liquid, that may be present in the matter in the body, in the lower part of the bottom; thereby chances for leakage at the raised discharging end of the bottom is substantially eliminated.
To prevent any relative displacement between the body 6 and the trap section 1.3 the f sins of the wagon is suspended on an axle 28 by eiliptical springs 29 which are interposed between the longitudinal frame members 11 and the axle, In view of the fact that the body is locked to the frame by the lever 23 it will participate in all the movements of the frame during transit, and, therefore, no relative displacement between the body and the trap section 13 can take place. After the wagon body has been dun'iped and is moved to its normal position, the engagement of the body with the stationary section of the trap is rendered noiseless by the provision of the leather straps on the flanges 18 which constitute the gaskets preventing leakage.
