A supporting structure is also illustrated in this copending application for supporting the box portion on a supporting surface whereby to permit the entrance of the fork of a lift truck between a supporting surface and the bottom closure so that the bottom closure canbe swung into its upwardly swung closed position by means of a lift truck fork or platform.
The principal objects of thisinvention are to provide a dumping box of the aforementioned type which is provided with improved mechanism for latching and releasably retaining the bottom closure in its upwardly swung closed position; to provide a dumping box of the aforementioned type which may be lifted by means of a suitable lifting device such as a lifting crane, lift truck or the like and which is constructed so that the bottomclosure can be swung to its closed position when the box structure is lifted by the lifting device; to provide an improved supporting stand on which the dumping box may be mounted, adjacent a machine, assembly line, or the like, so as'to'provide easy access to the material disposed within the dumping box; to provide a supporting stand of the aforementioned type which is adapted both for side and front delivery and which can bereadily and speedily changed from one type of delivery arrangement to the other; to provide generally a dumping box and combination dumping box and supporting stand structure which is especially eflicient in operation, rugged in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and which will greatly reduce many of the current problems now existing in the material handling field.
These and other objects of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accor'npanying drawing in which box constructed in accordance with one form of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary front elevational view of the structure illustrated in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the structure illustrated in Fig. 2 taken along the line 33 thereof;
Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of a further embodiment of a dumping box structure, supported on a supporting stand, with the bottom closure in its upwardly swung closed position;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 4 illustrating the bottom closure of the dumping box in its downwardly swung dumping position;
Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view of the structure illustrated in Fig. 4 taken along the line 6-6 thereof;
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the supporting stand illustrated in Fig. 4;
Fig. 8 is an enlarged sectional view of the structure illustrated in Fig. '7 taken along the line 8--8 thereof and Fig. 9 is an enlarged sectional view of the structure illustrated in Fig. 8 taken along the line 9-9 thereof.
Referring'now to the drawing and more particularly to Figs. 1 to 3 it will be seen that a dumping box I I is illustrated which is preferably formed with corrugated metal walls having a beaded upper edge I 3. The bottom closure for the box II is indicated at l5 and is likewise preferably made of corrugated sheet metal braced by a plurality of longitudinally spaced generally U-shaped cross members IT. The bottom closure I5 is pivotally connected with-the box portion I l adjacent the rear wall thereof, by means of pivot pins l9, mounted in a supporting leg structure 23. The supporting leg structure 23 supports the box in an elevated position above a supporting stand or other supporting surface, and comprises runnerlike legs 25 preferably formed of structural members of generally U-shaped cross section. Side plates 26 are secured to the box and supporting legs 25 below the bottom closure (5, and have an inclined lower edge, as can be seen in Fig. 1. The side plates 26 cooperate with the bottom closure [5, when the latter is in a downwardly swung open or dumping position, to form a laterally closed chute down which elements carried within the box I I may slide.
In order to releasably retain the bottom closure in its upwardly swung closed position, latch means are provided, which include a pair of laterally spaced plungers 21slidably supported in, and extending through, apertures 29 in the for- 3 wardmost pair of'bottom closure cross members I1, indicated at Her and I112. Extending between and secured to the plungers 21, adjacent the forwardmost cross memberflais a connector plate 3| which ties the two plungers together for coordinated movement. A coil spring 33 is disposed on each plunger 21 between the back face of the connector plate 3| and the front face of the cross member [1b. The vcoil springs 33. normally urge the plungers 21 and the connector.
member 3| forwardly, and the movement of the plungers is limited by the engagement, ofv the con-1 nector plate 3| with the cross member 11a. The outer ends of each of the plungers 21 are tapered at 32 and are adapted, when the bottom is in its closed position, to be receivedin, and project through, apertures 34 in latch'plates'35 which are welded or otherwise suitably secured-to :the"
front wall of the box portion H. The front cross member. I111 is providedwith a central aperture 31, over which is welded or otherwise suitably secured a guard orv bracket 39,. including.v front and side walls. Projecting'through the aperture 31. andinto theconfinesofthe guard or .bracket 39: is the outerend of a pin. 4|. Theinneror back end of the pin 4| projects through an aperture. in cross beam I11) and theintermediate portionof the pin is welded orotherwise suitably securedto the connector plate3l. Therefore, by insertinga tool. 45,. shown in Fig. 4, into the space between the front wall of the guard 39-and the outer. end of the pin 4|, the. pin. can be moved rearwardly, and the plungers 21 will .be moved rearwardly, against theaction of. the springs 33, thus, withdrawing the forward ends of the plungers from the latch plate 35. The bottom closure I5. will.then drop down into .its. downwardly swung open or dumping position. When the bottom closurel is-raised toits.upperclosedposition, thetapered plunger ends 32 will CaIIL-OVEI the lower ends of the latch plates 35am will be forced rearwardly. against theaction of the springs I 33 .until .the plungers comev into alignment with the apertures 34 in the plate. The. springs 33 will. then. force the forwardends of' the .plungers 29..through the apertures 34so as to .releasably latch. the bottom closure .15 in its upwardly swung closed position.
The vmodifieddumping box illustrated in Figs. l throughfi includes, in addition to vthestructure previously described, structure for permittingthe bottomclosureto beswungto its closed position and the box-to be liftedbymeans of a lifting device such asan overhead. crane.- This structure :includes substantiallyvertically extending straps El which are. slidably .connectedtdthe opposite sidewalls of the dumping-box. Il', adjacent the front wallthereof. Each of the straps 51 has its upper end provided with. an eyelet .53 which. isadapted .tov receive a conventional crane hook. ora hookLon .a cable sling. Eachstrapji is provided with a. slot 55 adjacentthe upper end thereof, and a headed pin- 51, whichiswelded or otherwise suitably secured to the side wallof the box H, is slidably reoeivedin the slot 55.to permit the strap 5| to movesubstantially vertically with respect to, the sidewallofthe box H. The lower endof the strap 5! is-pivotally connected to the bottom closure I5, by means of a laterally extending pivot bar 59 which is supported .in the bottom closure [5 and'has its oppositeends projecting: outwardly, througharcuate slots. 6 I'. in. the-.zside plates..26, andpivotally connected tothelower endof .thestrapsjl, at: a
63. Straps having eyelets on the upper end thereof in the same manner as the straps 5|, are fixedly secured to the side walls of the dumping box H at 66, adjacent the back wall thereof soasto provide, with the straps 5!, four eyelets, connectible with a crane-hook through a cable sling or the like, so that the dumping box structure may be lifted by a lifting device such as an overhead crane. It will be appreciated that when the straps 5|- 'are'lifted by the crane the bottom closure l5t-willabe-swung to its closed position and will be: effectively and positively locked in this position as long as the box is being lifted by the crane. If desired the latch mechanism described. insthesprevious embodiment, and which is shown in Figs-4 through 6, may be eliminated, but preferably it is employed so that the box is adapted foruse-with both a crane-type lifting device-as well as a lift truck device, as previously described.
Referring now to Figs. 7 through 9,.a,supporting, stand..61 Tis-illustrated which includes legs 68 and a .top frame 69. A portion, of. the topjrame 69 projects forwardly of the-,legstructure.6810 provide ,in. effect a. forwardly projectingledgeor shelflike frame structure 10 ,"includingsidewall's 1| and a front end wall .13. Detachably secured to. theunder side of the forwardly projecting frame structure10,by means of bolts 1510: -the like,,is alaterally enclosed side delivery chute. 11, the bottom wall of which is downwardlyinclined, transverselywith respect to the supportingstand. Thev chute 11 is provided with adelivery opening 19 at one end. .thereof andfladjacentv one side ofv the stand. 61; When theside delivery ,ch.ute
,11,is secured .totheunder side of theforwardly projecting frame structure 10, the supporting stand is adapted for .use for sidedeliyeryofelements, andjif it is desired to use the, stand for front, delivery purposes a plate BI is. mounted jon the frame structure. 10,. between...the.side walls H, the front wal1'13 s0 asv to closenff ltheupper end of theside delivery. chute. 11 andjprovide a forwardly projecting ledge. orsh'elfjforfront deliverypurposes.
When .the dumping ,box. .is. mounted]; on. ,the supporting. stand..61; as. illustrated,.in- Fig$.-. 4 through ,6, therunnerlikelegs25'are supported on the top frame 69 so .that. the. bottom closure !5 isdisposed in .a plane. above .thatof the for.- wardly projecting frame structurelfl. When thebottom. closure 15 is released, ,it.-will.pivot downwardly toits dumping position.; as illustrated .in. Fig. 5,- andthe side-plates .23 on.,the box cooperate. with theside, plates 1|.of... the supporting .stand to providea laterallyenclosed chute which isv openatthe. front end.. thereof so that material. orelements within the dumping boX willslide along. the. inclined. dropped, bottom? and into the topframe structure 10..be-

If the .plate- 8 l isnot used the. materialwilljdrop into the side delivery chute11 .so that .the material will. be disposed adj acent. .the..opening 19 at one end thereof soas to be readily accessibletoa machine operator or. the like. However, when front delivery isdes'ired the plate.8|-. is positioned on the frame structurelfl so astocoverandclose off the side delivery chute. 11 and th material from the box will therefore be discharged-onto the plateBl within theconfines ofthesideplates 1| and the end wall 13, thus permittingfrontdeliverycf the material from. the box..
'ihus it will be appreciated:thatrthe dumpin boxes herein illustrated may be liftedibythesfork of a lift truck, which may engage the under side 'of the bottom closure l so as to swing the same to. its upwardly closed position prior to lifting the box and moving it either to a supporting surface or a supporting stand, such as is illustrated in the drawings. Likewise it will be appreciated that the dumping box may be provided with the strap means, by means of which the bottom closure may be closed when the box is lifted by a crane-type'lifting device or the like and moved to any supporting surface or to a suitable supporting stand. The boxes herein illustrated thus are provided with a simple and positive mechanism by means of which the bottom closure may be releasably locked so that there will be no danger of the bottom closure 15 accidentally opening. Likewise, the boxes of this invention are adapted to be lifted by various types of lifting devices and are adapted to be mounted on a supporting stand so that either front or side delivery may be easily obtained, thus providing a more efiicient operating material handling unit which may be used for many more purposes than any heretofore known in the art.
