ABSTRACT:
A rigid support in the form of a plate rests on a part of the storage area in front of one side of a heap of material in the storage area. The support is positioned parallel to one side of the storage area and extends over the whole width and beyond the heap. At least one endless conveyor fixed rigidly on the support is arranged parallel to the longitudinal side of said support, with its ends also extending beyond the heap. A guiding and tipping ramp is mounted on the support in front of the lateral surface of the conveyor adjacent to the heap of materials to be handled. The height of the ramp is the same as the height of the support and of the conveyor and extends across the whole width of the heap. The support, and the different members mounted thereon, are moved or shifted in at least one direction perpendicular to the length of said conveyor and parallel to the storage area by a drive located outside of the storage area and operating on the support only at its ends. At least one scraping tooth or blade is mounted movably in front of the ramp and is guided by the ramp parallel to the latter as the tooth is moved therealong in order to penetrate into and loosen the base of the materials in the heap front of it. The conveyor is of the scraper type and a retaining beam is mounted on the support parallel to the conveyor, close to the side of the latter, away from the guide ramp. The beam serves to both rigidify the support and hold back and return possible falls of the materials.
