A discharge gate assembly adapted to be secured in material receiving relation relative to a standard opening toward a bottom of a railroad hopper car is disclosed. The gate assembly of the present invention satisfies AAR requirements and specifications and includes a rigid frame defining a ledgeless and generally rectangular discharge opening which is sized substantially equivalent to the standard opening defined toward the bottom of the railcar whereby allowing commodity discharged from the opening in the railroad hopper car to pass through the gate assembly with minimum interference or obstruction thereby promoting the discharge of commodity from the railroad car. A gate is slidably movable between open and closed positions relative to the discharge opening on the gate assembly and is suspended, in a closed position, by a series of supports extending therebeneath.

La présente concerne un registre de vidange conçu pour être fixé sur un dispositif de manutention de marchandise et qui consiste en une ouverture standard au fond d'un wagon-trémie. L'ensemble de registre de vidange de cette invention est conforme aux exigences et aux caractéristiques techniques de la AAR. Il se compose des éléments que voici : un châssis rigide qui entoure un registre sans pièce d'appui et généralement rectangulaire, dont les dimensions correspondent pour l'essentiel à l'ouverture standard du fond d'un wagon-trémie et qui permet le déversement d'une marchandise et sa vidange par le registre, avec une interférence ou une obstruction minimale, la vidange de la marchandise contenue dans le wagon-trémie s'effectuant alors sans aucune difficulté. Pour s'ouvrir et se fermer, le registre est mobile et glisse, et en position fermée, le registre est suspendu au moyen d'une série de supports qui se trouvent sous le dispositif.
