This invention pertains to the lifting and tilting of a container of fluent materials. Two embodiments are shown, one having a vertical column disposed to carry the secured container to a predetermined height. This apparatus may be fixed or may be movable from and to selected positions. A slot is formed in this column and a reciprocable movable plate is cycled up and down therein. A spur gear and meshed pinion are provided therein. The spur gear is rotated by an arm and cam follower on the end thereof, with the cam follower transverse an angled cam track to provide a determined tilt and rate of tilt. A second and telescoping embodiment is also disclosed for conditions in which the lift may be as much as twelve feet or more. Side and front discharge apparatus is shown. Container securement apparatus includes adjustable pins. A clamping arrangement for cylindrical containers with a tapered end is also contemplated. A battery-powered apparatus is shown particularly for the telescoping apparatus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention may be summarized, at least in part, with reference to its objects.
It is an object of this invention to provide, and it does provide, apparatus for controlled lifting and tilting of drums of flowable materials in which the apparatus may be mobile or fixed, with the lifting and tilting apparatus having a capability for adjusting the height of lift and degree of tilt.
It is a further object of this invention to provide, and it does provide, lifting apparatus having a drum-receiving guide and a pair of adjustably positioned retaining pins to accommodate the particular height of a drum or container of flowable material.
The apparatus is adjustable as to the height of lift and rate and degree of tilt.
It is a further object of this invention to provide, and it does provide, lifting apparatus in which there is provided a safety latch providing means for preventing accidental lowering of the drum until emptied and lowering is desired.
It is still a further object of this invention to provide, and it does provide, lifting-and-tilting apparatus in which the tilting means is a track having a selectably directed gate providing means for an angle discharge of the lifted drum to one of two angles.
It is still a further object of this invention to provide, and it does provide, power lifting apparatus having a telescoping main body tube and utilizing a battery-powered drive unit for mobile operation and for a hydraulic-powered means for actuation of the grasp apparatus and lifting of the telescoping portion and the load.
In brief, this lifting-and-tilting mechanism is particularly adapted to the pharmaceutical field where drums of material of up to two hundred pounds are utilized.
If desired, all exposed surfaces may be finished for easy removal of any and all dust.
This apparatus may be air-actuated or, if desired, may be electrically actuated.
A plurality of retaining pin locations is provided to accommodate drums or containers of selected heights.
A pinion and meshed gear are utilized to provide the speed and degree of tilt for discharge of the opened drum
