  • Patent number: 4519693
    Abstract: An apparatus which transfers particles from a refill container into an open ended hopper. A cover closes the open end of the hopper with a chute being disposed interiorly of the hopper. When the cover is opened, the chute moves to an exterior position for receiving the refill container. The surface of the chute, in engagement with the refill container, is inclined to the horizontal so that the refill container does not have to be completely inverted when discharging particles into the hopper.
