DEFINITION

Classification: 414/309

Pivotably displaceable assistant and member for shielding its fixed end:

(under subclass 306) Apparatus wherein the discharge assistant is mounted for pivotable movement about the center of the receptacle, and a member capable of supporting that portion of the contents of the receptacle which overlies it is located proximately above that end of the assistant about which the pivotable movement takes place.

(1) Note. The member may be for the purpose of preventing the contents of the bin from descending into and clogging an outlet located centrally of the floor and into which the assistant discharges, or, in the event that the assistant discharges, instead, to another conveyor, it may be for the purpose of protecting an interconnecting drive means (e.g., a transmission) therebetween, etc.
