Abstract
In a collection container for bulk material with a conveying pump (204) or a suction tube arranged off center, with a container wall (202), and a substantially level container bottom, at least one removing arm (210) is adapted for movement in the vicinity of the container bottom. The removing arm (210) is arranged on a traction means and guided in the region of the container wall (202).
Claims20
A collection container for bulk material, comprising:
- a container having a substantially level container bottom and a container wall extending upright with respect to the container bottom;
- a suction device for sucking the bulk material from the container at a suction position that is off center with respect to a top plan view of the container bottom;
- and
- traction means for pulling at least one removing arm to move the removing arm in the vicinity of and relative to each of the container bottom, the container wall and the suction position, so that the removing arm moves the bulk material to proximate the suction position and the suction device sucks the bulk material that is proximate the suction position from the container.

A collection container for bulk material, comprising:
- a container having a substantially level container bottom and a container wall extending upright with respect to the container bottom;
- a suction device for sucking the bulk material from the container at a suction position that is off center with respect to the container bottom in a top plan view of the container bottom;
- an flexible driving device extending around the suction position and mounted for moving in a continuous circuit that extends around the suction position and proximate the container wall;
- and
- at least one removing arm mounted to the flexible driving device for being pulled by and moving with the flexible driving device,
- wherein the flexible driving device and the removing arm are configured so that the removing arm travels along a path while moving with the flexible driving device, with the path extending in the vicinity of each of the container bottom, the container wall and the suction position, so that the removing arm moves the bulk material to proximate the suction position and the suction device sucks the bulk material from the container.
