Self-tipping skip - has base with two pairs of crossing swivel arms pivoted to skip with tip skip forward when base inclined slightly

摘要

The self-tipping containers or skip comprises a base frame with two pairs of swivel arms each having its ends pivoted to the frame and to the skip respectively. The swivel arms are preferably arranged so that the position of the centre of gravity of the skip, relative to the cross-over points of th arm pairs, holds the skip either in the upright position or in the forwardly tipped position. - The position of the centre of gravity depends on the inclination of the base frame. The skip is preferably lockable in the upright position by a lever-operated swivel hook to engage a projection on the skip).
