1. An ejector mechanism for a self loading scraper having an elongate bowl, said bowl having forward and rearward ends, a pair of spaced sidewalls, and a floor interconnecting the bottom edge portion of the sidewalls, comprising:
- an ejector assembly having upper and lower members and a hinge pin hingedly connecting the upper member to the lower member, said ejector assembly being slidably positioned within the bowl between the sidewalls and both the upper and lower members being translatable relative to the sidewalls between a first position adjacent the rearward end and a second position adjacent the forward end; and
means for automatically pivoting the upper member about the hinge pin rearwardly relative to the lower member in response to the upper and lower members of the ejector assembly being translated from the first position to the second position.

10. An ejector mechanism for a self loading scraper having an elongate bowl, said bowl having forward and rearward ends, a pair of spaced sidewalls, and a floor interconnecting the bottom edge portion of the sidewalls, comprising:
-
an ejector assembly having upper and lower members and a hinge pin hingedly connecting the upper member to the lower member, said ejector assembly being slidably positioned within the bowl between the sidewalls and being movable between a first position adjacent the rearward end and a second position adjacent the forward end; means for automatically pivoting the upper member about the hinge pin rearwardly relative to the lower member in response to the ejector assembly being moved from the first position to the second position, said means including an elongate link having first and second end portions, a first pivot pin pivotally connecting the first end portion of the link to one sidewall of the bowl forwardly of the ejector assembly at the first position of the ejector assembly, and a second pivot pin pivotally connecting the second end portion of the link to the upper member. - View Dependent Claims (11)
