Definitions
- the container is shifted out of its position in order to facilitate the loading, this may take place either in the lateral direction or in the vertical direction.
- an auxiliary bridge is required above the platform, as well as a power gear for shifting the container.
- a particular lifting device is re- quired, e.g., a hydraulic lifting device.
- the granular or floury material is carried,by the effect of friction between the mat and the material, along with the mat into the top portion of the con- tainer, from where it can be passed out of the con ⁇ tainer, e.g., by means of a glide chute.
- the container in accord ⁇ ance with the invention is mainly characterized in what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
- the equipment is suitable for bulk fertilizer, grain, talc, etc. inconvenient granular and floury materials.
- the material in the construction in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which both ends of the mat are attached to rolls, the material can be discharged to both sides of the container, even simultaneously if so desired.
- the mixing of the mate ⁇ rial in the container is in this case even more effi ⁇ cient.
- the invention will be examined in the follow ⁇ ing in more detail by means of the exemplifying embodi ⁇ ments in accordance with the attached drawings.
- Figure 3 is an enlarged and more detailed view of the end of roll, drive gear, and the connecting mechanism and locking means between them, for the con ⁇ tainer construction shown in Fi . 1.
- the attaching member 9 may consist, of a metal bar attached to the wall.
- the attaching member 9 may consist, of a metal bar attached to the wall.
- the con ⁇ tainer at the roll 3, there is a gate 10 opening up ⁇ wards, for the filling and discharge of the material.
- a plate 11 of a width equal to the wall is mounted, which plate is directed diagonally upwards towards the roll 3 .and at whose end there is a scraper edge 12, which may be, e.g., similar to a rubber rib or brush and which is pressed against the roll diagonally from underneath.
- a container as described above of a * volume of about 5 m , was made of plywood boards reinforced by means of appropriate steel frame ⁇ works.
- the length of the container was 2.5 m, width 1.2 m, and its height from the bottom to the top level of the roll 2 m.
- As the mat was used a rubber mat with canvas reinforcement, of a thickness of 5 mm. : ..
- the end walls were coated with a rubber layer in order to improve the sealing between the mat and the walls.
- As the drive gear was used a hydraulic cylinder, and as the connection between the hydraulic cylinder and the roll end was used a ratchet device.
- the container operates as follows: When the container is empty, the mat 8 is advantageously com ⁇ pletely wound on the roll 3 over its entire length, except for the portion remadLning between the roll 3 and the attaching member 9.
- the roll 3 When the container is being filled with a granular or floury material, such as bulk fertilizer, the roll 3 is disconnected from the drive gear 6 and from the locking device 7, whereat the mat 8 is unwound off the roll 3 and pressed by the weight of the material to be filled towards the bottom 2 and the walls 1 and 1 • .
- the mat 8 rigid in the transverse direction, no material can flow between the edges of the mat 3 and the ends 15 onto the bottom 2.
- filling is stopped and the locking system 7 is switched roll 3.
- the attaching member now consists of a second roll 9, which is similar to the said first roll 3 and paral ⁇ lel to the said latter roll.
- the second roll 9 is installed in a way corresponding to the first roll 3 and is preferably placed at the same level with it.
- the second roll 9 may be provided with a separate drive gear, or the same drive gear may be used for rotating it as is used for rotating the first roll 3.
- the distance between the rolls is here preferably approximately equal to their length, i.e. the opening defined by the opposite ends 15 and by the rolls 3 and 9 fitted between them is substantially of square shape.
- Such bulging outwards might, viz., have the result that the edges of the mat 8 are no longer pressed definitely tightly against the ends 15, in which case material could flow down between the walls and the edges of the mat.
- rigidifying members By using such rigidifying members, it is possible to achieve the required sealing at the same time as the material thickness of the walls and the ends can be kept relatively low.
- edges of the belt can be provided with packing means known per se in order to keep the edges constantly in contact with the end walls of the container during operation.
- packing means may comprise resilient hoses filled with a gas, such as pressurized air, or an uncongealable liquid, such as hydraulic oil.

Abstract
Le container comprend une partie de conteneur dont les extrémités opposées (15) sont parallèles entre elles, un tapis (8) adapté à l'intérieur du conteneur, lequel tapis est flexible dans le sens longitudinal et rigide dans le sens latéral et qui est fixé à ses deux extrémités à des cylindres parallèles (3, 9) placés sur les côtés opposés dans la partie supérieure du conteneur, ainsi que des portes (10) de remplissage et de décharge du matériau. A l'aide d'un engrenage d'entraînement (6) qui fait tourner l'un des cylindres, p.ex. le cylindre (3), il est possible d'enrouler le tapis (8) sur le cylindre (3) et de décharger le matériau du conteneur du côté du cylindre (3) en rotation. Lors de l'étape finale de la décharge, le tapis (8) peut être enroulé sur le second cylindre (9), de telle sorte que l'on obtient un fonctionnement du type à bande transporteuse et même la dernière quantité de matériau restant peut être déchargée du conteneur.The container comprises a container part whose opposite ends (15) are parallel to each other, a mat (8) fitted inside the container, which mat is flexible in the longitudinal direction and rigid in the lateral direction and which is fixed at its two ends to parallel cylinders (3, 9) placed on opposite sides in the upper part of the container, as well as doors (10) for filling and discharging the material. With the help of a drive gear (6) which rotates one of the cylinders, e.g. cylinder (3), it is possible to roll up the belt (8) onto the cylinder (3) and discharging the material from the container to the side of the rotating cylinder (3). In the final stage of discharge, the belt (8) can be rolled onto the second cylinder (9), such that conveyor belt type operation is achieved and even the last remaining quantity of material can be rolled up onto the second cylinder (9). be unloaded from the container.
