Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1783279A1] The device has an air funnel (5) fixed on a front axle (6) of a chassis (2) of a road vehicle and connected to a pipe (7) by an upper end for transferring aspirated waste. The funnel is activated by a jack (8) having two rotational axles and is mounted on a roller (14). A guide rail (9) limits the displacement of the jack which is fixed on the axle. The funnel is controlled by an anti-return valve for maintaining the funnel in upper position.
