Abstract
A hopper feed apparatus for the powder hopper of a powder reinforcing machine, to keep the hopper and its supply conduit free of clogged powder, the apparatus comprising of an arrangement of springs attached to the top of the hopper on the inside thereof, which springs extend downwardly to a common point near the discharge orifice, to where they are attached to a line which extends through the conduit. The lower end of the conduit is secured to a movable dispensing apparatus, which when it moves, pulls on the line and biases the springs, all of which agitate any powder within the hopper and the conduit, preventing it from caking and otherwise clogging the system.
