Abstract: An improved storage and discharge apparatus (10) for receiving items to be stored and selectively discharging same. The storage and discharge apparatus (10) comprises a depositary (14) for receiving items to be stored, the depository (14) defining a forward end portion (22) defining a discharge opening (26). The depository (14) further defines a bottom portion comprising a discharge conveyor (16) for supporting the items stored and for selectively discharging the items through the discharge opening (26). The apparatus also comprises a traveling loading mechanism (12) disposed above the depository (14) for depositing items to be stored into the depository (14). The loading mechanism (12) is longitudinally movable along substantially the length of the depository (14) and is selectively driven by a suitable drive. The loading mechanism (12) includes a cross-feed vibratory conveyor (50) having a vibratable tray (66) for receiving items to be stored, the tray (66) defining a slot (b 74) disposed above the depository through which the items are received. A movable wall (76) is disposed beneath the tray (66) rearward of the and adjacent to the slot (b 74), the movable wall (76) extending downwardly from the cross-feed conveyor (50) into the depository and being inclined toward the forward end portion (22) of the depository (14). In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus (10) is provided with an electrical control (94) for automatically controlling the loading and unloading of the depository (14).
