hopper
Tapered discharge bin
A hopper is a container that funnels material downward through a narrow opening—for grain, coal, or other bulk substances.
The shape appears in hoppers on trains and trucks designed to discharge loads from below.
A hopper is also a grasshopper or similar jumping insect, and by extension, someone who hops between things: island hopper, bar hopper, channel hopper.
In bureaucratic contexts, papers accumulate in an in-box called a hopper: The bill is in the hopper.
