Abstract (en)
A silo (100) for mounting on a docking station (200). The silo comprises a funnel shaped container (110) and a supporting structure (120). When positioned in the upright position, an area of the funnel shaped container (110) decreases with decreasing height towards an outlet, and an upper region (122) of the supporting structure (120) is providing support for the funnel shaped container (110). A lower region of the supporting structure has sloped inner walls (121) wherein a distance between the sloped inner walls increases with decreasing height such that the inner walls (121) of the lower region can slide over the docking station (200) which has an upper region comprising primary walls with a sloped outside surface (251) which matches with the sloped inner walls (121) of the lower region of the supporting structure (120).
