ABSTRACT:
Improved apparatus for the transportation of granular materials such as concrete is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pneumatic discharge area, a rotatable feed wheel having a plurality of pockets opening to a hopper for transporting increments of material to the discharge area and vibrating apparatus including one or more resilient members disposed adjacent the openings to the feed wheel pockets for being alternately flexed and released to impart vibration to the resilient members to enhance the flow of material into the pockets. The vibrating apparatus further includes a mounting ring, adapted for mounting in the device, and one or more inwardly extending mounting bars affixed to the ring for carrying the resilient members. In the preferred embodiment, the ends of the resilient members extend into the pockets when registered therewith and contact between the upper edge of the pockets and the corresponding resilient member during rotation of the feed wheel imparts the flexing action to the resilient member.
