Definitions
- BACKGROUND OP THE INVENTION In the past, grains have had to be initially loaded into trucks in the field and delivered to large storage bins on the farm site for storage until marketing. This requires initial handling in the loading of the truck, a second handling in unloading the truck, a third handling in loading the bins a fourth handling for unloading the bins and load ⁇ ing the grain back in the trucks, and a fifth handling at the country elevator site at the time the grain is sold by the farmer.
- the present invention permits the grain to be loaded once in the field, into the storage box and the storage box then transported to a suitable storage location on the farm site where the grain is stored until it is taken to market in the same storage box, thus eliminating most of the handling steps and thus, obviously reduces damage to the grain.
- Suitable means for drying the grain while confined within the box may be provided such as the perforated hollow tubes extending thereacross through which hot drying air can be injected through the grain without removing the grain from the box.
- the invention consists in a generally cube shaped box having one corner thereof truncated to form sloping hopper sides and a box bottom, the bottom having normally closed hopper doors which form the supporting bottom for the box when closed, but which can be opened to discharge the contents of the box for dumping, the box being partic ⁇ ularly easily loaded onto a pivoted sloping frame wh-ich matches the slope of one of the hopper side panels to permit the frame to be positioned thereunder with means for releas- ably connecting the box to the mounting frame and elevating the box thereon into transporting position for transporting the same from one location to another, said box being pro- vided with a plurality of perforated air discharge tubes extending thereacross for introducing a flow of drying air
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the container embodying this invention with a wheeled trailer unit about to be connected thereto for transporting the same;
- Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the trailer - connected to the storage unit with the hopper doors shown in open, dumping position;
- Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of the container mounted on the trailer in transporting position
- Fig. 4 is a front elevational view taken substan- tially along the line 4-4 of Fig. 3 with portions broken away.
- this inven ⁇ tion provides a grain container unit C which is in the form of a cube having one edge thereof truncated to form a bottom 10.
- Sides 11 slope upwardly from the bottom at approximately 45° and the upper side walls 12 are rigidly connected to the upper ends of the sloping sides 11 and form upwardly con ⁇ verging top panels which are slightly truncated at the upper ends thereof to form an opening 13 through which grain can be introduced into the container.
- a cover 14 is hinged to the top of one of the sides 12. End panels 16 are provided to complete the generally cube-shaped enclosure.
- a plurality of perforated air discharge cross tubes 18 are rigidly mounted in the ends 16 and extend across the container between said ends 16 to provide rigid cross bracing within the container unit.
- the ends of the tubes are normally closed but a least one end is provided with a removable cap 18a which permits a hot air supply tube (not shown) to be connected to deliver hot drying air through the grain being storaged in the unit C, thus providing a combination storage container and grain drier.
- the truncated bottom of the container unit C is provided with a discharge opening which is normally closed by a pair of hopper doors 10a to which toothed arcuate seg ⁇ ments 10b are fixed at the respective ends of the doors.
- the segments are mounted for movement within the container adjacent to the respective ends 16 and mesh with toothed pinion gears 10c to which crank lOd can be connected for turning the same to open and close the doors 10a.
- a cross shaft lOe connects opposed pinions 10c.
- the doors may be overlapped along the center line of the opening to provide a seal when closed.
- a suitable container pick up and transporting vehicle such as the trailer T illustrated, which has a pick up and carriage frame F pivotally mounted at the rear end thereof with the pivot points located sub ⁇ stantially over the axle of the trailer T.
- the trailer T is provided with a rigid frame assembly 25 which has a hitch 25a at the forward end thereof.
- An axle 26 is mounted at the rear end of the frame 25 and has wheels 27 journaled on the ends thereof.
- a pair of pivot pins 30 connect an inter ⁇ mediate portion of the frame F to the rear portion of the frame 25 above the axis of the axle 26 and in substantial alignment therewith.
- the pivoted frame F has suitable channel members or rails 31 along the sides thereof to form a con- tainer-receiving channel and bed therebetween.
- Suitable slides 35 are slidably mounted on the rails 31 and are pro ⁇ vided for suitable releasable connection with the container unit C as by a pair of removable connector pins 36 inserted through holes 35a formed in the forward ends of slides -35 and in brackets 37 fixed to container C.
- a pair of hydraulic cylinders 40 connect the frame unit F to the slides 35 as shown and provide the power for moving the slides forward and back on the rails 31.
- a second pair of cylinders 41 are connected between an intermediate portion of the trailer frame 25 and the forward end of the pick up and carriage frame F to raise and lower the front end of said frame F to facilitate picking up, transporting, and dumping the con ⁇ tainer unit C.
- the storage container unit C may be placed outside in any convenient location for storage on the farm site until the proper time for trans ⁇ portation to the market place.
- the grain When the grain is initially loaded into the container through the top opening 13, it may be attached to a farm tractor with the hydraulic system of the tractor connected with the hydraulic cylinders 40 and 41 for controlled actuation thereof.
- the grain may be introduced into the container in the field where it is being harvested and when filled, the next container is merely moved into filling position adjacent to the harvesting machine (not shown) .
- hot drying air may be introduced into the grain mass confined within the container unit C so that the grain may be dried and kept at the optimum moisture content after harvesting and during storage.
- the trailer unit T When the box is to be transported to another location, the trailer unit T is backed into pick up position with the pick up and carriage frame tilted "upwardly to engage the sloping side 11 with the attachment pins 36 inserted through the holes 35a of slides 35 and the holes in brackets 37.
- the cylinders 40 are in retracted position for initial pick up and the cylinders 41 are in extended position.
- the cylinders 40 When the box has been connected to the slides 35, the cylinders 40 are extended and the cylinders 41 are retracted. This may be done simultaneously or successively.
- the hydraulic system of the tractor is normally used for actuating the cylinders 40 and 41.
- the box When the frame has been lowered into horizontal transporting position as shown in Fig. 3, the box may be then transported to the market place or to any other desired location.
- the container may be dumped by tilting the frame F into the posi ⁇ tion shown in Fig. 2 and the hopper doors 10a swung down ⁇ wardly into open position as illustrated. This discharges the grain into a conventional elevator hopper (not shown) .
