ABSTRACT:
An aeration pad for use contiguously upon a structured and inclined floor of a cargo transporting barge, railroad car, or other transporter, a combination of this pad and the floor are disposed for accommodating air under pressure intermediate thereof, and functioning as an air conveyor for stimulating the movement of the bulk granulated material, such as cement, for flow downwardly along the incline of the floor and towards a conveying or floor trough also provided within the structure of such transporters. A series of such aeration pads substantially cover the inclined floor of the barge, and around each pad's perimeter a series of channels cooperate with a seam located rope for holding the pads firmly in place, while an additional series of dividing channels secures each pad also to the floor to delineate elongated segments between channels and wherein air pockets may form as pressurized air is directed underneath the pads, with the perviousness of the pads allowing the air to effect shifting of this cementitious material towards the arranged lower conveying trough for discharge.
