Patent ID: 8419336

Claim:
A device for distributing material in an enclosure, the device comprising: a fixed charging device configured to receive the material at a first entrance of the fixed charging device and to pass the material out of an opening at a first exit of the fixed charging device; a movable charging device configured to receive the material from the fixed charging device at a second entrance of the movable charging device and to pass the material out of a second exit of the movable charging device, wherein the first exit of the fixed charging device is located within an opening at the second entrance of the movable charging device, and the movable charging device is movably mounted at the opening of the first exit of the fixed charging device with a gimbal suspension on which the movable charging device is suspended; and at least two actuators configured to actuate the gimbal suspension, wherein the gimbal suspension includes: an inner ring that is tiltably arranged on a first tilting device, wherein the first tilting device is mounted on the fixed charging device at the first exit of the fixed charging device and is configured to facilitate tilting of the inner ring on a first axis of rotation, and an outer ring that is tiltably arranged on a second tilting device, wherein the second tilting device is mounted on the inner ring and is configured to facilitate tilting of the outer ring on a second axis of rotation, the outer ring is attached to the moveable charging device at the second entrance of the moveable charging device, and wherein a first actuator of the at least two actuators comprises at least one of an actuating rod and a pressure cylinder that is attached to the outer ring and a second actuator of the at least two actuators comprises at least one of an actuating rod and a pressure cylinder that is attached to the outer ring, and the first actuator is angularly displaced from the second actuator around an axis of at least the fixed charging device.
