160,437. Vonnez, E., and Jaquemot, C. March 15, 1920, [Convention date]. Vehicle fittings and attachments.-Comprises constructions of apparatus for loading and unloading vehicles of the type in which a movable bridge or a bridge with a movable part is brought into suitable positions for loading and unloading by means of a winch mounted on the chassis. In all these constructions the bringing of the bridge to its normal position on the chassis automatically disconnects the driving-gear of the winch. In one construction, a body or bridge 1, Fig. 1, is raised by a winch 17 from the loading position on the ground and, by continued winding, is tilted and drawn over pairs of flanged rollers 10 mounted on the chassis. The rear roller shaft is arranged to oscillate, to facilitate the manoeuvring of the body, and the latter is formed with a rounded front end to pass over the rollers readily. The winch may be power-driven from the engine, in the case of motor vehicles, and may be stopped automatically when a projection on the body strikes a stop 27 and thus sets a system of levers 26, Fig. 4, in operation to move a rod 34 axially. In the stopping position a bolt 35 registers with an eye 37 to secure the body in position. In a modified construction, only the rear part 40, Fig. 5, of the body is movable, and is rotated by the winch about the axis 42 between the dotted and full line positions. The vehicle is loaded by repeated operations of the movable part, the successive loads, when raised, being pushed by hand from the movable to the fixed part of the body. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which the underside of the base of the removable body is inclined upwardly towards the front of the vehicle. Hooks 68 on the body engage the ends of the lengthened rear shaft 61 and form pivots about which the body tilts into the position shown in dotted lines. In the form illustrated, the body is fitted with rails 70 carried on a turntable. Segmental supports 74 for holding special loads can be adjusted slidably on the rails 70 and fixed in adjusted position by bolts 76. The rear ends of the vehicles may be fitted with telescopic supports for use during the loading operation. The winch is stopped or reversed by the axial movement of a shaft 104, Fig. 10, which is identical with the rod 34, Fig. 4. The axial movement of this shaft controls two claw clutches 97, 98 which can be engaged alternatively to clutch members 85, 87 which drive directly or through reversing gear 92 a wheel 104 geared to the winch. Specification 160,436, [Class 103 (iv), Railway &c. vehicles, Body details &c. of], is referred to. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) it is stated that the winch drum is moved laterally to maintain the line of pull on the cable parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, by forming a helical groove 22, Fig. 12 (Cancelled), on the surface of the drum and arranging a fixed spring-pressed ball 20 to contact therewith. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
