VIBRATORY STORAGE PILE DISCHARGER MEANS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention provides improved vibratory storage pile discharger means for promoting the downward flow of material from a storage pile of a flowable material, such as coal, limestone, woodchips, sulphur and the like, through an opening in a generally horizontal surface on which the pile is supported and into another area located beneath that pile-supported surface. Basically, the improved means provided by the present invention comprises: (a) an inverted hollow frustoconical conduit member generally vertically arranged within the opening in the pile-supporting surface with its long central axis concentri- cally aligned with that of the opening and having its wider upper inlet end supported by the pile-supporting surface through resilient means and also having its narrower lower outlet end extending through the opening and into an area located therebeneath; (b) an upright conical member mounted generally vertically within the wider upper inlet end of the hollow frustoconical conduit member with its base being radially spaced apart from the interior walls there- of and having its long central axis concentrically aligned with those of the opening in the pile-supporting surface and the inverted hollow frustoconical conduit member and also having its apex extending above the the uppermost edge of the inverted hollow frustoconical conduit member; and (c) drive means connected to the inverted hollow frustoconical conduit member for imparting vibratory movement to it and the upright conical member mounted therein with respect to the pile-supporting surface and the opening therethrough to trans- mit vibratory impulses to the pile and thus promote downward flow of material from the pile through said conduit member and into the area located beneath the pile-supporting surface. Preferably, the upright conical member also has attached to it a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart ribs which pro- ject outwardly and downwardly from its upper surface and the uppermost edge of the inverted hollow frustoconical conduit member is absent of an upright frustoconical drawdown skirt around its periphery.
