The invention relates to a container loading and emptying device for a refuse vehicle with an endless carrier consisting of two chains (10,11), which runs in a substantially vertical plane along a substantially rectangular path, one or more pick up members (13), which are fitted to a shaft (12) connected to the endless carrier (10,11) and which are rotatable around this shaft (12) and tilting means consisting of rolls (15,16,17,18) mounted to the pick up member (13) and guides (27a,27b,28,27a′,27b′,28′,30,31) for the said rolls mounted on the frame (3), with which at the upper angular points and a successive part of the upper part of the path the pick up member (13) rotates over an angle of 180°, wherewith seen in the lowermost vertical position, the pick up member (13) is provided with two rolls (17,18) mounted symmetrically with respect to the vertical central line of the pick up member (13) below the pivot point of the pick up member ( 13), with guides (27a,27b,28,27a′,27b′,28′) for the said rolls (17,18) mounted at the upper angular points of the path and that the shaft (12) which connects the chains (10,11) to each other and whereto the pick up member (13) is fitted, is a straight shaft.

A container loading and emptying device for a refuse vehicle having an endless carrier, said device comprising: a substantially rectangular frame; two chains running in a substantially rectangular path around said frame; a shaft connected to the two chains; a pick up member pivotally mounted on one end of the shaft; rolls mounted on the pick up member at positions above and below said shaft such that at any given position along a vertical axis of said frame, said rolls including an innermost lower roll and an outermost roll positioned on said pickup member such that they are below the shaft when said pickup member is in a upright position, said outermost roll being positioned at a greater distance from said frame than said innermost roll; and guides located at upper angular points of the frame for cooperating with said rolls to provide a means for tilting said pick up member 180 degrees, said guides comprising innermost and outermost guides, said outermost guide being positioned at a greater distance from said frame than said innermost guide, said innermost guide comprising a first portion for guiding an innermost lower roll until an outermost lower roll abuts said outermost guide and a second portion for guiding the said innermost roll when said outermost roll reaches an end of said outermost guide.
