The disclosed embodiments and other features, advantages, and disclosures contained herein, and the matter of attaining them, will become apparent and the present disclosure will be better understood by reference to the following description of various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
As such, an overview of the features, functions and/or configurations of the components depicted in the various figures will now be presented. It should be appreciated that not all of the features of the components of the figures are necessarily described and some of these non-discussed features (as well as discussed features) are inherent from the figures themselves. Other non-discussed features may be inherent in component geometry and/or configuration. Furthermore, wherever feasible and convenient, like reference numerals are used in the figures and the description to refer to the same or like parts or steps. The figures are in a simplified form and not to precise scale.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the present disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of this disclosure is thereby intended.
The present disclosure includes disclosure of systems, devices, and methods for transporting and pouring gravel or other fill material or other objects into or onto a desired location.
An exemplary bucket device 100 of the present disclosure is shown in
Exemplary embodiments of bucket devices 100 of the present disclosure can include various features as shown and/or described herein. For example, and as shown in
Front walls 108 of bucket devices 100 of the present disclosure have an arcuate pour profile 114, such as shown in
Procedurally, bucket devices 100 of the present disclosure can be filled with gravel or other fill material, for example, and be placed upon a hauler machine 500, such as shown in
Bucket devices 100 of the present disclosure can have tapered rear walls 102, first side walls 104, and/or second side walls 106, such as shown in
As shown in
In at least another embodiment, and such as shown in
Bucket devices 100 of the present disclosure are specially configured so to allow said devices 100 to be filled with gravel or other fill material, lifted by a hauler machine 500 and positioned thereon, transported to a location at or near a utility pole, lifted by hauler machine 500 and positioned on the ground, and tipped so that the gravel or other fill material can pour out of said device 100 at the arcuate pour profile 114 to allow for directed gravel or other fill material delivery around said utility pole, such as shown in
While various embodiments of systems ad devices for transporting and pouring gravel or other fill material and methods for using the same have been described in considerable detail herein, the embodiments are merely offered as non-limiting examples of the disclosure described herein. It will therefore be understood that various changes and modifications may be made, and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not intended to be exhaustive or limiting with respect to the content thereof.
Further, in describing representative embodiments, the present disclosure may have presented a method and/or a process as a particular sequence of steps. However, to the extent that the method or process does not rely on the particular order of steps set forth therein, the method or process should not be limited to the particular sequence of steps described, as other sequences of steps may be possible. Therefore, the particular order of the steps disclosed herein should not be construed as limitations of the present disclosure. In addition, disclosure directed to a method and/or process should not be limited to the performance of their steps in the order written. Such sequences may be varied and still remain within the scope of the present disclosure.
The present patent application is related to, and claims the priority benefit of, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/344,397, filed May 20, 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein directly and by reference in their entirety.
