A container assembly comprises a container and a base and is configured to be transported horizontally to a work site where it is raised to a vertical working orientation. A hoppered container floor directs material to a discharge opening in a center of the floor of the container. A plurality of chutes is fixed to the container assembly and each slopes downward and outward from a chute input, located under a central portion of the hoppered floor, to a corresponding chute output. A distributor assembly mounted under the discharge opening receives granular material from the discharge opening and directs same into any one of the chute inputs. When loaded on a gooseneck trailer the container extends over the hitch assembly providing increased volume and capacity.

A discharge assembly for use in or with dispensing apparatus. The discharge assembly includes an entry chamber for receiving one or more items to be dispensed in use. At least one discharge outlet is provided in the entry chamber. The directing member is movably mounted in the entry chamber for directing the one or more items through the at least one discharge outlet in use. At least one opening is defined in or associated with the directing member for allowing the one or more items to move through the at least one opening and towards the discharge outlet in use. A closure member is associated with the at least one opening of the directing member and said closure member is arranged to move in use between an open position, wherein the one or more items can move through the at least one opening of the directing member, and a closed position, wherein the one or more items are prevented from moving through the at least one opening of the directing member. A resilient biasing member is provided on or associated with the closure member to bias the closure member to the open position in use.

A cosmetic receptacle system consisting of a receptacle (2), which is self-supporting or consists of flexible film over a majority of its volume and one end of which constitutes a withdrawal opening in the form of a tapered neck (4), and a cap (4a), whereas the system also has several concealing sleeves (5) with different outer cross-sectional shapes and several adapter rings (8), each adapter ring (8) having a socket for the neck (4) of the receptacle (2), enclosing the latter in the circumference direction, and constituting at least one stop, which prevents the receptacle (2) from being pulled outward through the adapter ring (8), and each adapter ring (8), at its end oriented toward the bottom (7) of the receptacle (2), having an adapter section (11) whose outer cross-section essentially corresponds to the outer cross-section that a concealing sleeve (5) that corresponds to this adapter ring (8) has at its free end oriented toward the neck (4) of the receptacle (2).

A grain bin aeration system has inlet ducting in communication with the hollow interior of the storage bin adjacent a perimeter of the storage bin and exhaust ducting in communication with the hollow interior of the storage bin at a central location within the storage bin. A first portion of the inlet ducting is directed to the top end of the bin so that aeration flow therethrough is directed downwardly through the material in the storage bin to the exhaust ducting. A second portion of the inlet ducting is directed to the bottom end of the bin so that aeration flow therethrough is directed upwardly through the material in the storage bin to the exhaust ducting.

The present invention relates to a silo (1) comprising one or more cells (2), each cell comprising one or more outlet openings (3), wherein said cells have an angular cross-section and wherein said outlet openings have a non-angular cross-section, wherein said outlet openings and said cells are connected to one another by means of a transition plate (4), wherein the angle a between the wall of the cell and said transition plate is constant along the radial periphery of the outlet opening. The present invention also relates to a kit and a method for constructing such silo.
