ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to material handling devices, more particularly, the invention relates to mobile bin apparatus having conveying means for conveying material in the bin to one end of the bin and a second conveying means movably positioned for conveying the material from the end of the bin to a more remote location from the one end of the bin.
It is an object of the invention to provide a novel mobile bin device having a first conveyor means along the bottom of the bin with its conveying outlet at one end of the bin for conveying material in the bin to one end of the bin and a second belt conveying means adjustably mounted at the one end of the bin to receive material conveyed to the one end of the bin and adjustably mounted to pivot an outer end upward and downward about a pivot adjacent said one end of the bin to raise and lower the other end of the second conveyor means with said second conveyor means slidably mounted in said pivotal mounting to the bin to move longitudinally in length along the outlet end of the first conveyor means at the one end of the bin to shorten or lengthen the distance from the outer end of the second conveyor means to the outlet of the first conveyor means at the one end of the bin.
It is another object of the invention to provide a novel mobile bin having a first conveyor for conveying material in the bin to an end of the bin and a second conveyor which has received material from the first conveyor and is adjustable in length to place the material at different lengths from the bin and adjustable in height as well as direction.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel mobile bin having a first belt conveyor for conveying material in the bin to one end of the bin and as second belt conveyor for receiving material from the first conveyor with the second conveyor adjustable longitudinally in length and pivotable at one end upward and downward and horizontally relative to the bin with a mechanism for the pivotal and slidable adjustable movement for the second conveyor being adjacent the one end of the bin.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds and when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
