Claims. This invention relates ,to hoppers .ior sand and other. divided material such; for. example, as may be employed for supplying sand to, the distributing boxes ,or containers of core blowing machines whence itis discharged into a core box ormoulding box. Hoppers for use in charging, blast ,furnaces are usually provided with a conical closure and it has been proposed to mount the closure cone. by a universaljoint on,the end ,of. acranked lever. carried through an outwardly flared wall below the .cone.

For ex- "*2 ample, .as .herelillustrated, .theremay; be, assurrounding, .sloping..wall l l l and one upright vwall .IZ; orathe walls may besloped from arectangular upper edge 13. In either case thewalls are car- .rieddownto a discharge opening 44 the,inner surfaceof which ispreferably circular. Aconvenient. arrangement is to cast. or. otherwiseform abottom structure I 5,-comprising, a vvertical;neck with .a;,flared.gupper :edge. lehaving a circular internal. surtace forming. the opening it, and; a suitablyshaped. outer surface to receive thebottom ofthe.-l-1 op.per walls which latter are secnred thereon by bolts 1 l or in, any. other suitable manner. Withintheinner-surface of theneckot the structure .I 5 is .cut an annular groove i8, in which is secured, such.as,.by. suitable adhesive, a joint ring .I 9,that;is preferablymade .of rubber or other durable flexible material. The circular wall sur- Iace is cut away to alarger diameter .atthepart forming the loweriwall of the groove 18 in order thatthe joint ring .1 9.clearly overhangs themetal around, this part while-beingsupported byv a metal .backi-ng around its upper: surface. Below the joint ring I9, the. wall of. thecast or other .structure l5is increased in diameter e. g.- by an. outwardlyinclined wall 20 terminating in an attachmentflangez By means oiithis flange thehopper structure may be secured uponlthe apparatus .to Whichthe sand or other divided material to be delivered such as on the'distributin'g box or a core blowing machine, the upper part of whichis indicated by the reference 22.
"Within the discharge opening "I4 :at'the bottom of the hopper i0, is arranged a conicalclosure member 23- the outer surface-of which can be brought into close, contact with the free overhanging edge of the joint ring 19- without contacting any portion ofthewall, in order to make ai tight-closure-of= the hopper. Theenlaige'd diameter ofthe surrounding wall 20 provides substantial clearance below the a joint ring for *the passage of sand or other finely divided material between thewall and" the closure member fi when thelatteris opened-tor discharge of theamateri-al from the hopper.
' Theiconical ,closure member 2 3: is secured upon the lower, externallyscrewed -end .24-' (;F?ig.;-' 5) of a tubular connecting rodp -z4, such as bv-the use of, clamping nutsaor rings- 25 and suitable packing. .W-herethe cone is truncated by adlatvtened. part 26 forithis purpose; it is preferred ;to provide a lightlgauge-cover, piece 21 inorder to preserve the conical shape and so. avoid a:;shelf or lodgement area-for the material. fllhe tubular ponnectionzis universally join-ted tat i281l30 apiston rod 29 of a cylinder 30 suitably mounted on the hopper such as by a support stirrup 31, bar, or other means. By this means the conical closure member is free to centre itself in the joint ring I9 of the discharge opening in the act of closing the hopper. A suitable lead is preferably made to each end of the cylinder 30, as at 32 and 33, so that fluid pressure, preferably compressed air, can be supplied to either face of the piston in the cylinder 30 to move the conical closure member to each of its positions at will. A suitable control (not shown) will be provided on the compressed air supply means for this purpose.
By making the connecting rod 24 as a tube, a supply of compressed air can be conducted through it, for example by a nipple 34 and flexible tube 35 capable of allowing free movement to the rod and its conical member 23. The flexible tube 35 may be connected to the supply lead 32 which goes to the upper end of the cylinder 30 so that when the closure member is opened, air may be supplied to the tubular connecting rod 24 and through a tubular connection 36 to any suitable form of vibrator represented at 31 which will transmit its vibrations to the conical closure member to facilitate the flow of material through the discharge opening l4 over the cone. Such vibrators operated by compressed air are well known on the market and may be of the type illustrated in Figs. and 6. This vibrator comprises a piston 42 loaded by a spring 43. The piston has three annular grooves 44, 45, 46 to which compressed air is admitted in succession through inlet ports 47, 48, 49 respectively as the piston is moved against the spring loading, the grooves being interconnected by a longitudinal port 50. The air is first admitted to groove 44 by inlet port 41 during the initial part of the movement; as the piston covers port 41 the port 48 is uncovered to admit further air by way of groove 45 and finally port 48 is closed and port 49 opens to admit still further air by groove 46. The air displaced from the end of the cylinder escapes by way of one of the outlet ports 5|, 52.
During the admission of compressed air, leakagepast the piston into the working space 53 at the closed end of the cylinder 54 will build up a pressure therein so long as the escape port 5| at that end remains covered, and the piston will move against the spring loading, whilst leakage to the other end of the cylinder will escape through the port 52 at that end until said port is covered. When the piston uncovers the port 5| at the working space end of the cylinder the spring comes into action to return the piston to its initial position. This cycle is again repeated so that the piston is reciprocated to impart lateral vibrations to the closure member in which it is secured. The escape ports register with perforations 55 in the base plate 38 of the closure member.
The base of the hollow cone 23 is preferably closed by a plate 38 provided with fine perforations 55 which will permit the air used for actuating the vibrator 31 to escape, but will exclude the sand or other material.
The universal connection of the tubular suspending rod 24 attached to the top of the conical discharge member 23 from the piston rod 29 of the air cylinder 30 is preferably made by means of a ball joint, the ball being mounted between two screwed cup members 39, 40 one attached to the piston rod 29 and the other screwed around it, and a lubricating nipple 4| may be provided by which lubricant can be conveyed to the bearing surfaces around the ball.
