Abstract
The invention relates to a charging unit of a material processing apparatus having a charging hopper, the side walls () and rear walls () of which can be folded over between a working and a transport position by means of actuators (). A deflection element is provided, which converts the movement of an actuator during a portion of a movement thereof into a rotational movement of the rear wall or of the side wall and, during a further portion, into a translational movement. As a result of the rotational movement, the rear and side wall can be pivoted between the working and transport position, while by means of the translational movement, the rear and side wall can be connected to each other by means of an appropriate closure (). By means of the deflection element, a simple, self-securing, and economical structure of the charging hopper is made possible.
