Apparatus for emptying a container

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for emptying a container, which comprises a stand and a swivelling part which is mounted so as to swivel about a horizontal swivel axis in the region of the upper side of the stand and bears and holds the container. The containers can have an inexpensive and simple design and can be tilted with a fork-lift truck if the apparatus is configured such that the upper side of the stand is designed as a supporting plate or supporting frame on which the container can be set down and fastened, that the swivelling part has, offset relative to the underside of the supporting plate or of the supporting frame, a receiver for fork-lift truck arms, which receiver is bounded at the top by a rotatably mounted roller, which is aligned parallel to the swivelling axis, and at the bottom by a pivotable holding bracket, and that the swivelling part is held in the initial position on the stand by means of at least one spring-loaded and/or weight-loaded Bowden cable. <IMAGE>
