ABSTRACT:
Vehicles to be loaded are advanced to a loading station beneath a material supply source. A first sensing means senses the presence of a vehicle and activates a signal device to alert the driver to stop at the loading position or terminates the operation of automatic means for advancing the vehicle. An overhead second sensing means and an associated flowable solids load level sensor are lowered until the second sensing means detects the top of the vehicle load-receiving body. Flowable solids are released from the overhead source and the discharge of material continues until the load level sensor is displaced by the first load increment reaching a desired level, at which point an output of the load level sensor terminates the release of material from the overhead source and activates signals means whereby the vehicle is advanced sufficiently to cause the load level sensor to return to a normal non-sensing position, at which point a second increment of the load is released from the overhead source unitl the level of the second load increment is sufficient to cause another displacement of the load level sensor. Incremental repositioning of the second sensing means and load level sensor is automaticaly obtained in cases where the load-receiving body of the vehicle is tapered or uneven in height.
