Patent Abstract

The device (10) has a filling nozzle communicating with an inner space of filling containers (14) via an opening assigned to the nozzle in a base (22) to deliver filling goods via an outlet at a free end. Front wall (16) and two side walls (18) of the device are approximately vertical. A rear wall (20) has an upper section inclining horizontally at an angle in the range of 20-40 degrees, and a lower section inclining horizontally at an angle in the range of 40-80 degrees and ending at the base. A vibration device i.e. vibration motor, is attached at the rear wall in the upper section.
