hoppers, moving floors and tippers for the transport of bulk materials, patent No. 873;641 proceeds to describe an improved body for transporting granular materials such as corn, sand and gravel.
(H. White and Hightown Malting Co.. Ltd.. 144 Armley Road, Leeds, 2.) Improvements claimed are in the method of discharging the load. The floor of the vehicle is made so that it can be lifted in the middle as shown in the drawing at 1. Power for this action is supplied by an hydraulic ram (2).
As the middle rises, the two sides open to expose channels (3) at the edges and these contain chain or screw conveyors. Their outlets preferably converge into a common chute through which the load is finally discharged.
An advantage of the scheme is that the body, when the floor is flat, can he used for transporting general goods.
