Abstract
Abstract The device comprises a false chassis articulated about a first transverse axis at the rear part of the vehicle chassis and slidably supporting a L-shaped member which in turn supports a container. Said false chassis also comprises an articulation about a second transverse axis. Both slide and false chassis are moved by means of respective jacks. Rotation of the whole of said false chassis about said first axis provides a tipping wagon while sliding actuation of L-shaped member followed by rotation of the articulated portion of said false chassis about said second axis allows said container to be loaded or unloaded from said vehicle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
A device for loading-unloading a container from a vehicle and further permitting the utilization of said vehicle as a tipping waggon, comprising: a container having hook attaching means on at least one end thereof; a false chassis means slidably supporting said container between a forward position and a backward position; a first pivotal means having a first transverse axis of rotation and connecting said false chassis means to the chassis of the vehicle at the rear end thereof and allowing a limited rotation of said false chassis means about said first pivotal means; said false chassis having a rear part the end of which is pivotably mounted about said first pivotal means and a front part forming at least one slide, said rear part and front part of said false chassis being linked together by a second pivotal means having a second transverse axis of articulation; said false chassis further including: an L-shaped member having an upstanding arm for location adjacent the front of said container and having means at its upper end to hook to said attaching means of said container and a horizontal arm slidably engaged in said slide; locking studs fixed to said rear part of said false chassis and co-operating with lugs located under the bottom of said container; means to slide said L-shaped member and means to rotate said false chassis.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
226 words
A device for loading-unloading a container from a vehicle and further permitting the utilization of said vehicle as a tipping waggon, comprising: a container having hook attaching means on at least one end thereof; a false chassis means slidably supporting said container between a forward position and a backward position; a first pivotal means having a first transverse axis of rotation and connecting said false chassis means to the chassis of the vehicle at the rear end thereof and allowing a limited rotation of said false chassis means about said first pivotal means; said false chassis having a rear part the end of which is pivotably mounted about said first pivotal means and a front part forming at least one slide, said rear part and front part of said false chassis being linked together by a second pivotal means having a second transverse axis of articulation; said false chassis further including: an L-shaped member having an upstanding arm for location adjacent the front of said container and having means at its upper end to hook to said attaching means of said container and a horizontal arm slidably engaged in said slide; locking studs fixed to said rear part of said false chassis and co-operating with lugs located under the bottom of said container; means to slide said L-shaped member and means to rotate said false chassis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, in which said means to slide said L-shaped member and to rotate said false chassis are respectively first and second jacks.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, in which said container is locked on said rear portion of said false chassis by means of said lugs and studs when said L-shaped member is in the forward position with respect to said slide, said device acting as a tipping waggon by actuation of said second jack and rotation of said false chassis about said first transverse axis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, in which said container is disengaged from said rear portion of said false chassis when said L-shaped member is in the backward position with respect to Said slides thus permitting said container to be loaded and unloaded with respect to said vehicle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, in which the angle between the two arms of said L-shaped member is adjustable in order to adapt same to any form of the front end of a container.
