ABSTRACT:
A continuous conveyance system comprising a series of ship-shaped conveyance containers whereby bulk load is conveyed, two pairs of endless chains adapted to support and carry said conveyance containers at both front and rear portions thereof, said pairs of endless chains consisting of a pair of inner chains adapted to carry the front portion of each said container and a pair of outer chains adapted to carry the rear portion of said container, chain wheels around which said endless chains are passed, said chain wheels consisting of the inner chain wheels around which said inner endless chains are passed and the outer chain wheels around which said outer endless chains are passed, said both inner and outer chain wheels being secured to a common shaft at the rotatory section where the bulk load is received, the rotatory section where bulk load is dropped and the rotatory section where the direction of movement of the conveyance container is merely changed by 90.degree., said both inner and outer chain wheels being arranged horizontally while suitably spaced-apart from each other at the rotatory section where the horizontal movement of each said conveyance container is turned to the vertical movement while maintaining the horizontal posture of the container, and a bulk load discharge promoting device provided at the rotatory section where the bulk load is dropped. Each of said ship-shaped conveyance containers is made from a flexible plate with excellent releasability so as to avoid holdover of the bulk in the container and to allow effective cooperation with the load discharge promoting device. In order to accomplish efficient discharge of bulk load, it is desirable to provide means for giving vibrations to the container body in said discharge promoting device.
