Definitions
- the present invention relates to material dispensing apparatus and in
- solid and liquid such as sawdust, chopped straw, animal feed, seeds, liquids (e.g.
- milking sheds and the like are normally covered with a layer of absorbent lining
- material comprises a receptacle for material to be dispensed, a material-receiving
- the material-receiving surface is stationary and the material
- displacing means is movable relative to the material-receiving surface.
- the material displacing means is rotatably
- the material displacing means may engage the material-receiving surface
- the material displacing means is resiliently deformed when it
- the material displacing means may comprise
- a brush member which may conveniently be circular or cylindrical in shape.
- the displacing means may be one or a plurality of material displacing means.
- the material displacing means is located within an enclosure. This
- the material-receiving surface may form a wall of the enclosure.
- the receptacle comprises a plurality of upstanding enclosing walls
- the aperture for passage of the material is located in one of the enclosing walls.
- feed means for feeding material in the receptacle to the aperture
- the feed means is
- the apparatus may further comprise agitating means for agitating material
- the agitating means may comprise a rotatably mounted
- the receptacle has an upwardly diverging cross-section, which
- the apparatus preferably has
- mounting means for removably mounting the apparatus on a vehicle and preferably
- the receptacle is pivotable.
- Fig 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of material dispensing
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional side view through the dispenser of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a plan view, partly cut away, of the dispenser of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 4 is a plan view, partly cut away, of a second embodiment of dispenser
- a material dispensing apparatus of the present invention Referring firstly to Figs. 1 to 3, a material dispensing apparatus of the present invention
- invention comprises a storage hopper 2 having an upper opening 4 for loading
- the dispenser is releasably connectable to a tractor T or other vehicle by
- the hopper 2 can be pivoted between the uppermost position shown in
- the two feed augers 24 are oppositely-handed, whereby each auger is
- augers are provided with paddles 29 at their innermost end, whereby when the augers are rotated, material is fed by the augers through an aperture 30 in the rear wall 16
- Two agitators 32 are rotatably mounted on the front wall 6 within the
- the agitators each comprise a metal disc 34 having a plurality of fingers 36
- each finger comprises a first straight section 38 which is
- the agitators are freely
- the aperture 30 leads into a dispensing chamber or enclosure 31 which is
- the chamber 31 comprises a rear wall 42, two parallel side walls 44
- each of the brushes is driven by a hydraulic motor
- the chamber is divided into two sub-chambers by a dividing wall 54 which extends
- Each brush 50 is designed to displace or propel material fed onto the base wall 46
- the apparatus is hitched onto an A-frame connection of a tractor and
- Hydraulic fluid is then fed to the motors of the augers 24 and the brushes 50,
- Material within the hopper is thus agitated by the agitators 32 and fed by the
- augers 24 through the aperture 30 in the rear wall 8 of the hopper. Feeding of material through the aperture is aided by the inclined base wall 10 of the hopper 2.
- axis of the brushes 50 may be less than, equal to or greater than the radius of the
- Rotation of the brushes causes the bristles to propel the material off the material-receiving base 46.
- the second embodiment, illustrated in Fig.4, is very similar to the first
- the hopper 2 and A-frame connection 14 are identical, the main significant
- the dispensing chamber is thus considerably smaller and the
- hydraulic motor 27 for rotating the augers 24 can be mounted externally of the
- an auger it is not absolutely necessary to use an auger, depending upon the material to be dispensed. For example, if dry sand or the like were to be dispensed,
- dispensing means need not be in the form of a brush but may,
