ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for conveying solid particulate material which includes a generally flexible receptacle fixedly situated within a frame. The receptacle has a top, a bottom, at least one wall defining an interior and a longitudinal axis perpendicular with the top and bottom. The improvement comprises a dump structure at the bottom comprising a dump aperture, a first flap, and a second flap. The first flap has a first connection along a first flap width with the wall and with the frame adjacent to the dump aperture, extends a first length from the first connection, and is swingable about the first connection from a first position blocking the dump aperture toward an open position. The second flap has a second connection along a second width with the wall and with the frame adjacent to the dump aperture and is swingable about the second connection from a closed position blocking the dump aperture toward an open position. The dump structure further comprises at least one side flap being connected with the wall adjacent to the dump aperture intermediate the first flap and the second flap. Each side flap has a third connection along a third width with the wall and a fourth connection with the first flap along the first length. A first bias member urges the second flap toward the closed position. Second bias members urge each side flap toward the interior.
