Definitions

  • Handren Attorney-Diner, Brown, Ranik & Holt ABSTRACT There is disclosed a container for the selective transportation of powdery and granulate material respectively or mixed cargo, which container is provided with discharge funnels and therebelow discharge conduits located above the container bottom wall and having connecting couplings, wherein respectively two adjacent funnel rows are spaced relative to one another and covering plates corresponding in their width to the width of the funnels are pivoted to the edges of the funnel rows closest to one another, said covering plates fonning flowoff surfaces for the powdery material when placed together with their free ends and covering the funnels when placed thereupon.
  • This invention relates to a container for the selective transportation of powdery and granulate material respectively or mixed cargo, which container has discharge funnels arranged in rows in its bottom portion and therebelow discharge conduits positioned above the container bottom wall and provided with connecting couplings.
  • the individual upper openings of the discharge funnels must be closed with covering means. Since these covering means cannot be stored in the container during the transportation. of powdery material, it is necessary to respectively store such covering means at the individual destinations.
  • the covering plates are pivoted to lie upon the two funnel rows so that they completely close the discharge funnels.
  • the covering plates are placed together with their free ends before filling in the powdery material, so that they form a prism the sides of which form the flowofi' surfaces for the powdery material which is now passed on to the discharge funnels without any bridging.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a container
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line "-1! of F IG. .1.
  • the container 1 illustrated in the drawing is a simple transportation vessel which has to receive the weight of the loaded material-and which does not have to be subjected to any additional pneumatic overpressure for the discharging thereof.
  • pyramidal hoppers or discharge funnels 2 are arranged in two rows which extend over the length of the container and which are spaced relative to one another.
  • the upper transverse edges of the individual discharge funnels are sealingly connected to one another.
  • the discharge openings 4 of the funnels 2 are in communication with a discharge line 5 via shutoff members 3, said discharge line extending through the container in longitudinal direction and having connecting couplings 6 at its ends.
  • manholes or sockets can be provided in its upper dportion for a pneumatic filling, which have been omitte in the drawing, however.
  • the wall of a face of the container is formed as a dusttight two-wing door 7.
  • covering plates 8 are pivoted at 9 to the adjacent longitudinal edges of the funnel rows, the width of said covering plates corresponding to the width of the upper opening of the discharge funnels.
  • the left plate 8 is illustrated in phantom in its covering position on the left funnel row.
  • the space required for the provision of the discharge funnels virtually does not present any effective decrease of the loading space.
  • the sideof the covering plate 8 directed to the right-hand funnel row 2 forms a flowoff surface for the'powdery material, so that it can virtually be evacuated through the discharge funnels 5 without any rest remaining in the container.
  • a common discharge line 5 is provided for the adjacent funnel rows 2 said discharge line having connecting couplings 6 and provided intermediate both funnel rows.
  • the shutoff members 3 of the individual discharge funnels are in communication with this common discharge line 5 via branch lines 10.
  • a container for the selective transportation of powdery and granulate material respectively or mixed cargo including discharge funnels arranged in rows in its lower portion and discharge lines therebelow located above the container bottom wall and provided with connecting couplings, wherein respectively two adjacent funnel rows are spaced relative to one another and covering plates corresponding in their width to the funnel width are pivoted to the edges of the funnel rows directed to one another, said covering plates forming flowoff surfaces for the powdery material when placed with their free ends together and covering the funnels when placed thereupon.
