Container with emptying means, in particular for fuel pellets |
(57) In many pellet stores, like in the invention, the container is emptied using a feed
screw from an area (M) at the bottom of the container. A pit then forms and the pellets
along the walls will be left. This has previously been solved using a fixed inclined
bottom at the cost of a bulky container. This has previously also been solved by a
slantable bottom. All such solutions seem to have a cloth or bag, and if they have
a feed screw, it is a bottom screw (a horizontal screw collecting pellets along the
entire length of the container). The invention, however, enables a compact container
entirely made of plywood (no cloth), provided with a slantable bottom. The invention
also enables emptying by means of an inclined screw. The invention comprises a container,
a main sheet (1) articulated to a side sheet (2), a shaft (3) and couplings (4) between
the main sheet and the shaft. The angling of the main sheet makes the pellets fall
down, and the side sheet prevents the pellets from falling down under the main sheet.
