The invention is a bucket for hauling con-i such a manner that as itis raised, it will turn over, and assume a .vertical position, so that it mayreadily dump its load from a hopper at one end, thereby forming the point ofcontact between the transportation unitand the forms or grade intouwhich the concrete is to be'dumped or vupon which it is to be" spread as the case may be. i I
The object of the invention is to'provide a means for handling concrete that :has been previously mixed, between the transporta- 2 tion unit and the form or grade, which will thoroughly re-miX the concrete as it is dumped into the forms or upon the grade. 7
l r, Another object of the invention is to prov l 1 s vide a bucket of a special design and means for supporting the bucket, which will co-operate to change the position of-the bucket as it is handled so that the bucket will thoroughly re-mi concrete or the like as it is han-' fdle dbyit'. Y A 'Another object of the inventionls to proarm that as the concrete, is dumped thereward in a tubular form from the center of the batch while that around the walls will fold 1 into the tubular form as it moves downward and thereby, thoroughly re-mix the concrete.
Anotherobject of the inventionis topro vide a bucket that may be placed in one po-v sition to receivea charge of material and .which will readilyassume another position I a from the point 6--to the point 7 to'form the hopper 3 and atthe end of the hopper is as it is'raised.

A further object of the invention is to provide a bucket for conveying concrete which has a receiving portion and also a" hopper into which the material passes from the receiving portion as the bucket is raised.
And a still further object of the invention is to provide a bucket of the class described which is of a simple and economical construction. v i

Figure 5,is a detail showing the liopper'at the end of the bucket provided with baffle plates r 7' In the draw ngs the device is shown as it would be inade wherein numeral 1 indicates I the body of the bucket, numeral 2 the receiv ing end and v numeral 8the hopper.
The body otth'e bucket is formedwith rectangular shaped casing having thelower corners rounded as shown in Figures 2 and It is understood, however, that, thebody portion may be round-or of any other. suitable shape. I i I The upper side of the body portion is open from one end to the point tan'dithe front of 1 the bucket is also open for the same distance and downward-to the point 5, which is about 1nidway of thebucket. -This opening provides a space into which material may be dum Jed as shownqin Fi ure 2. v The walls-- of the bucket converge at the 'opposite 'endf square portionB having a segmental gate 9, with-a handle 10 to cover the Openend. 011
may readily be skidded from one place to another. The body of the bucket is provided the under side of the bucket are rails, or beams, 11 which form skidsso that the bucket with. 'atransverse strap 12 to-the ends of cables may also be attached to them The" interior of the casing may be'smooth or pro- 'vided with suitable means for agitating ma- I terial 'ifdesired. i
It is preferable to have the interior ofthe bucket smooth, however, it is understood-that baffle plates llas shown in Figure 5 may be placed around the interior of the bucket if c desired to retard-the movement of the mixture.
It'will be understood that other changes niaybe made in the construction Without "departing-fromthe spirit of the invention.
I Oneof'which changes'may be in the arrangein'ent of the receivingo'r hopper portio'n'sof ftheibucket Another maybe in the location "of the lopening for the receiving of. the material. Another may be'in the general design of the bucket. Anotliermay bev in the omission ofthe skidrails, as shown in Figure F 4,:ind still another maybe in'tlie general design of the bucket. I The construction will be readily understood "from the foregoing description. To use the device, may firstbe placed in the horizontal position shown in Figure l where it will receive a load'of mixed concrete from a truck I or car. v V
central'mixing plant and hauled to the bucket by I any suitable means of transportation.
This concretewill be prepared at a The bucket is handled by two lines from a crane as shown inFigure 4, which allows the operatorito either holdf the bucketin a horif zontal, inclined'or-vertical posit-ion. As the crane raises the bucket, it is changed from the" horizontal to a vertical position, and thereby turned over so that itwill mix its contents,
and then as the'hopper at the lowerend is opened, the concrete in a vertical line above the gate will movei'downward first and pass out ofjthe gate inthe form of a tubular column, andas ltmoves the concrete around the column will flow toward the center so that the concrete will be again thoroughly mixed. This absolutely guarantees a remixed concrete byth'e time it is ready, to go into the form or to the grade and positively takes care of any separation'that may be caused in transit from a mixing plantto thejob.
The re-mixing process in the three or more turn overs in 'thebu'c'ket allows the central mixingplan tomake concrete in regular pro- -poi "tions,-without using any element for re *tarding its separation, which is'now'used by what I claim as new and central miXingplantsw-here it, takes ten min-' utes or longer to transport the material to the jobs It also eliminates re-mixing the concrete withfshovels on grades.
' This particular type of bucket is also particularly adaptable'for placing mixed concrete from transportation units to a grade,'as on a paving'jobwhere the bucket is under the control of a crane, it may be readilyobse'rvedthat the concrete can easily be'spreadas the bucket may be readily shifted from-one i positio'n't'o *another' 'and the hopper opened to permit as much concrete as may be desired passing out of the bucket. 'Itis also adaptable for pourmgconcrete into tor-ms as for crete. v
I-Iavingthus fully described the invention, V desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi i In a bucket of the class describecha rectangular shaped casing adaptableto rest normally in a horizontal positioma hopper with converging'sidesextending from one end 10f thecasing, a smallrectangular shaped section at the small end'of thehopper, a segmental gate forminga closure at the. end of the said small sectionfrails on the under side of the said casing extending lengt'hwlse there- T of and curving upward to the small end of the hopper forming skids, a strapiaround the said cables, means for attaching the cables to the ends of the strap, other cables somewhat shorter than the former cables, and means for attaching the said other cablesto the end of th'e casingopposite to the hopper, said cables being adaptable to upend the bucket as it is raised by them, and said bucket having an opening in a portion of one "side and of the top.
In testimony whereof "I 'aliix my signature.
