This application relates to Ser. Nos. 060,604, 060,478, and 060,501 which are co-pending herewith.
This invention relates to an apparatus for emptying a conveyor bucket. The apparatus is particularly useful when the buckets are traveling at a high rate of speed along the circuit of the conveyor or are carrying heavy loads. In such cases, very high kinetic energy forces are created which cannot be suitably controlled by sprocket-type bucket emptying devices. Positive control of the bucket is necessary at all times.
