ABSTRACT:
An assembly that enables an observer stationed outside an opaque upstanding bin that contains fungible goods such as grain, feed, and the like, to determine the volumetric contents of such bin, by weight.
The assembly includes a frame assembly that is lowered within the bin by the observer stationed outside the bin until a plurality of circumferentially spaced shoe members-carried by such frame-contact the stored goods. The contact is sensed by the observer through a pulley-mounted cable member that carries the frame assembly at one of its ends, the other of its ends being manipulated by the observer to accomplish the lowering of such frame.
A preselected outer surface of the bin is marked with vertically spaced graduations that indirectly indicate the volumetric contents of the bin, by weight, when an indicator member carried by the cable enters into visually perceived alignment with an individual one of said graduations.
