Kokubo, F.
Described is an apparatus for moving solid material and liquid from a floor into a solid material tank and a liquid tank. The floor has longitudinal section that slope downwardly to a longitudinal slit open to a chamber located below the floor. A scraper pivotally connected to a frame moves solid material from the floor into the solid material tank when the frame is moved toward the solid material tank. A vertical plate attached to the frame extends through the slit into the chamber. A plate pivotally attached to the vertical plate pushes liquid in the chamber into the liquid tank when the frame is moved toward the liquid tank. A winch and rope attached to a connecting fitting located in a mount on the frame selectively moves the frame in opposite directions over the floor. The fitting has limited movement relative to the frame and engages the scraper to raise the scraper above the floor when the frame is moved toward the liquid tank whereby solid material is not moved when the scraper is raised.
