Refuse collecting and dispensing vehicle

摘要

The vehicle has a self-propelled main frame with a box pivotally mounted at its rear end on the frame for upward movement of its front end to a box dumping position. The box has a forward charging opening. A packer means is swingable through the charging opening and rearwardly of the box toward a rear discharge opening that is normally closed by a cover means. The cover means has depending side wings which coact with an adjustable chute means, mounted rearwardly of the discharge opening, to confine and direct refuse into a dumping area or hopper. The packer means is operated through a hydraulically actuated linkage system which provides for the application of a high uniform pressure on the packer means throughout its rearward travel within the box.
