self-dumping car

A mine car that can be side-tipped while in motion on a rail track. A ramp structure is fitted alongside the track opposite the spot where tipping is required. The car is fitted with a spherically contoured wheel that engages the ramp and gradually tilts the car while in motion. A chain attachment to the underframe opens the side of the car when tilted for tipping. The ramp can be retracted when not required.
