Abstract
A loading apparatus comprises a ramp defining a loading surface and a pair of loading blades each having a triangular cross-section with a nearly perpendicular front face and a shallow inclined rear face relative to a desired delivery direction for material collecting on the loading surface. The blades are oscillated back and forth about upstanding pivot axes relative to the loading surface. Between the blades is a component or some other means defining a step with a similar configuration to the blades with a steep front face relative to the delivery direction and a shallow inclined rear face. The step defining means assists the blades in the loading work.
Claims13
Loading apparatus for use in loading loose material;
- said apparatus comprising means defining a loading surface for receiving the material, first and second loading blades, means for pivotably supporting the blades relative to the loading surface, each loading blade having a first front face which extends at a relatively steep angle in relation to the loading surface and a second rear face which extends at a relatively shallow angle in relation to the loading surface, means for pivotably moving the loading blades in unison back and forth over the loading surface in a reciprocable manner in delivery and return strokes to cause the material to be transferred over the loading surfaces predominantly by the first faces of the blades and means defining a fixed step between the blades to assist the transfer of material by the blades, said step having a front face relative to the blade which is foremost relative to the delivery strokes which extends at a comparatively steep angle in relation to the loading surface.
