ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to devices intended for receiving and handling a propellant powder, and especially to hoppers and containers for such a powder.
The hopper 1 for propellant powder 2 possesses an upper charging orifice 4 and a lower flow orifice 5 for the powder 2.
This hopper 1 comprises a side vent 13 possessing means for preventing the powder 2 from escaping through this vent; a zone 12 in the side wall of the hopper, which is located approximately between the vent 13 and the charging orifice 4, is made of a material which can be destroyed under the conjugate action of the pressure applied by the powder and the flames generated on the outside of the hopper near this zone 12.
