Definitions

  • the invention is based on the principle of using the material charge of the bucket to a higher degree as the required weight, and to design the bucket itself so that it is lighter, that is to say, so that material may be saved.
  • the end walls of the bucket forming usually simultaneously also the stripper edges, and located in the operating directions of the bucket, are inclined inwardly. Since now the excess charge will be pushed up on one or the other end wall during the forward movement of the bucket, and according to the working direction of the same, this material forms an additional load or force component, urging the bucket on to its guide rails or on to the road surface.
  • this effect is supported by a second feature of the invention, according to which there are arranged in the bucket, laterally of the operating direction, bulkheads which may be moved into opposite oblique positions, wherein these oblique positions may be fixed by end stops.
  • This pivotable arrangement of the bulkheads about pivots along their upper edges or located in the side Walls of the bucket has the object of pushingaccording to the operating direction of the bucket-the bulkheads into a position in which additional material is pushed during the forward movement of the bucket also against these bulkheads, creating further forces preventing the bucket from being lifted off the rails or road surface.
  • This effect is obtained in either operating direction by simple dividing walls.
  • the stops for the bulkheads are formed preferably by iron angles, the legs of which not forming the abutments are longer, that is to say, project deeper downwards so that also the stops not used in one or the other direction are effective in the same sense as the slanting bulkheads in that material is pushed on to the long legs, whilst at the same time preventing an accumulation of material on the rearward abutment faces, inclined in the other direction relative to the direction of movement.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-section of the bucket according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section along the line II in FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrows.
  • the bucket 1 has inwardly inclined end walls 2, and may be moved by means of wheel assemblies 3 on guide rails. A height adjustment of the wheel assemblies or of the bucket 1 is possible by screw spindles 4.
  • In the bucket there are bulkheads 5 which are rotatable about pivots 6, whereby the opposite slanting positions are fixed by end stops 7. These stops 7 have legs 7 and 7" of unequal length so that the legs 7", which do not serve as a'butments, project downwards over a longer section than the legs 7.
  • the bucket is provided with a drawbar 8.
  • the bulkheads are in the position shown in full lines.
  • material is pushed on to the slanting bulkheads 5 and on to the equally slanting end wall 2, causing the bucket to be urged downwardly by the weight of the material pushed on to the slanting surfaces.
  • the free abutments 7 are effective in the same way, because also here material is pushed against the legs 7", projecting further downward than the abutment faces 7'. In this way, an accumulation of material on the shorter abutments 7 is prevented.
  • the bucket may be equipped with its own independent drive, or it may be pulled and pushed by means of a drawbar 8.
  • a distributing device for road building materials 'and the like comprising a bucket having end walls and side walls, a plurality of spaced bulkheads provided in the bucket and each rotatable about a pivot in the side Walls of the bucket, and means in the form of stops below the pivots of which there are two spaced from each other for each bulkhead and secured to the inside sides of the bucket.
  • each stop has two legs of unequal length arranged at an angle to each other.
  • a distributing device in which the end walls each have an inclined inwardly directed section.
