Description

2 2 5 ϊ» Ο 1 8 This invention relates to a meal-holding container with mean.'; for preventing bridging of meal a;; if. flows to discharge under gravity through the hollow lower end of the meal holding container, such as a silo. Meal is 5 free running under gravity but because of compressive forces which must·, additionally be taken into consideration when it is flowing under gravity through the hollow lower end of inverted frusto-conical shape of a meal holding container, it tends to migrate in various directions and 10 open up flow passages readily followed by trailing particles. This tendency is known in the art as a tendency to "bridge" and the verb "bridge" and its derivatives are to be construed in the sense where used herein.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a meal holding container having arranged within its hollow lower end of frusto-conical shape a device adpated to prevent bridging of meal on gravitational flow thereof through the outlet of the open bottom of the 2o hollow lower end of the container, said device comprising at least one partition provided of hollow inverted frusto-conical shape which is arranged concentrically with the hollow lower end of the Inverted frusto-conical shape and lying parallel therewith along its length and means 25 are provided to support said partition in location said means being in the form of webs which extend from the top to the bottom of the partition between (.lie partition and the container wall.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be 30 described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, which is a diagrammatic plan view of the hollow lower end of inverted frusto-conical shape of a meal-holding container having an anti-bridging device. 3 35 5 018 Referring to the drawing, an anti-bridging device is located in a hollow lower end 10 of an inverted frusto-conieaI .shape of a meal-holding container 8.
The open bottom of the lower end 10 defines an outlet 5 11.
In the embodiment, one partition 12 is provided of hollow inverted frusto-conical shape whose base is of smaller diameter than the base of the lower end 10 and both bases are arranged concentrically one with the other 10 but spaced vertically apart, with the frusto-conical walls parallel. The open bottom of the partition 12 is of the same or slightly smaller diameter as the outlet 11 of the lower end 10, and is spaced vertically there-above to communicate therewith. The annular gap defined between 15 the walls of the lower portion 10 and the wall of the partition 12 is divided into six equal segmental units 14 by six equi-spaced webs 13 which extend from the top to the bottom of the partition between the partition and the container wall.
In use, meal fed into a meal-holding container 8 passes into the interior of the lower end 10 and is held in the separate compartments defined by the partitions. When the outlet 11 is open, meal is anticipated to flow quite freely out of the container.

Claims (3)

1. A meal holding container having arranged within its hollow lower end ol frusto-conical shape a device adapted to prevent bridging of meal on graviLaLionai flow thereof Llirough the outlet at the open bottom of the liollow lower end of the container, said device comprising at least one partition provided of hollow inverted frusto-conical shape which is arranged concentrically with the hollow lower end of the inverted frusto-conical shape and lying parallel therewith along its length and means are provided to support said partition in location said means lining in the form of webs which extend from the top to the bottom of the partition between the partitioii and the container wall.
2. Method of preventing bridging of meal in a mealholding container comprising utilising an apparatus as claimed in Claim 1 and substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
3. A meal hold ing container according to Claim 1, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing. F. R. KELLY a CO., AGENTS FOR THE APPLICANTS
