The invention relates to an open top generally rectangular hopper for the delivery and discharge of a flowable material. The hopper has lower side walls which converge inwardly and downwardly and are joined to a bottom plate. The hopper also has a bracket mounted on the exterior of the back vertical wall for securing the hopper container to the arm of a transport vehicle. A discharge chute is located on the lower portion of the front vertical wall about equidistant between the downwardly and inwardly converging lower sidewalls. In certain embodiments, an anti-spill lip surrounds the perimeter of the hopper opening and is angled between 30° to 90° inwardly from the vertical walls.

1. A hopper for the delivery and discharge of a flowable material comprising a rectangular hopper having a back vertical wall, a front vertical wall, a first and second vertical upper side wall, a first and second lower side wall, a bottom plate, and a top hopper opening for receiving flowable material into said hopper, said lower side walls converge inwardly and downwardly and are joined to the bottom plate,said bottom plate is perpendicular to said back vertical wall andan upper mounting bracket mounted on the exterior of said back vertical wall for securing said container to the arm of a transport vehicle,said front vertical wall including a discharge chute located on the lower portion of the front vertical wall that is located equidistant between the downwardly and inwardly converging first and second lower sidewalls and a discharge door for controlling the flow of said flowable material through said discharge chute,and an anti-spill lip the perimeter of which defines the hopper opening, said anti-spill lip is angled between 30° to 90° inwardly from the vertical planes of the front vertical wall, back vertical wall and upper side walls towards the top hopper opening. 2. The hopper of claim 1, further comprising a lower mounting bracket mounted on the exterior of said back vertical wall. 3. The hopper of claim 1, wherein said discharge chute has an opening (44) that is about 7-15 inches in height and about 6 to 15 inches in width. 4. The hopper of claim 1, wherein said anti-spill lip is angled 40-50° inwardly from the vertical plane of the upper walls and extends around the entire perimeter. 5. The hopper of claim 1, further comprising a lid (71) covering the top opening. 6. The hopper of claim 1, wherein said hopper top opening (12) is at least 50% greater than the perimeter of the bottom plate (22). 7. The hopper of claim 1, wherein the perimeter of the anti-spill lip (70) is at least 60% greater than the perimeter of the bottom plate (22). 8. The hopper of claim 1, further comprising a mirror mounting bracket attached to the outside upper portion of the front vertical wall (20) that is adapted to receive an angled mirror attachment (81) which allows the loader operator to maintain a direct observation of the orientation of the discharge chute (41). 9. A hopper for the delivery and discharge of a flowable material comprising a rectangular hopper having a back vertical wall, a front vertical wall a first and second vertical upper side wall, a first and second lower side wall, a bottom plate, and a top hopper opening for receiving flowable material into said hopper, said lower side walls converge inwardly and downwardly and are joined to the bottom plate,said bottom plate is perpendicular to said back vertical wall, andan upper and lower mounting bracket mounted on the exterior of said back vertical wall for securing said container to the arm of a transport vehicle, wherein said upper mounting bracket is situated from 18-26″ off the ground,said front vertical wall including a discharge chute located on the lower portion of the front vertical wall that is located equidistant between the downwardly and inwardly converging first and second lower sidewalls and a discharge door for controlling the flow of said flowable material through said discharge chute,and an anti-spill lip the perimeter of which defines the hopper opening, said anti-spill lip is angled between 40° to 80° inwardly from the vertical planes of the front vertical wall, back vertical wall and upper side walls towards the top hopper opening. 10. The hopper of claim 9, wherein said discharge chute has an opening (44) that is about 7-15 inches in height and about 6 to 15 inches in width. 11. The hopper of claim 9, wherein said anti-spill lip is angled 40-50° inwardly from the vertical plane of the upper walls and extends around the entire perimeter. 12. The hopper of claim 9, further comprising a lid. 13. The hopper of claim 9, wherein said hopper top opening (12) is at least 50% greater than the perimeter of the bottom plate (22). 14. The hopper of claim 9, wherein the perimeter of the anti-spill lip (70) is at least 60% greater than the perimeter of the bottom plate (22). 15. The hopper of claim 9, further comprising a mirror mounting bracket attached to the outside upper portion of the front vertical wall (20) that is adapted to receive an angled mirror attachment (81) which allows the loader operator to maintain a direct observation of the orientation of the discharge chute (41).
