' Be it known that I, 'ALoNzdT. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States-residing at Marseilles, in the county of Lasalle and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Spoiits, of
which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates to spouts and particularly to grainspouts to be attached to the hoods of grain elevators. or conveyers or the =like 'orto cupolas'o-r corn-cribs etc, to
direct the material into the corn-cribs,
granaries, bins,.cars,etc.
' f consists k in .the matters andthen pointed out intheclaims.'...-
- In order to illustrate the construction and a .useful employment of my show the same in..po's1tion .upona,gi'a1 n elei'.
vator-or conveyer, although of course .its use is not limitd to suc-h' devices.
In the accompanying drawings- Figure l'is a side View of an elevator or conveyerprovided with a spout constructed in. accordance with my invention- ,arts
ing broken. awayfor ,purpeseo clearer illustration; Fig. 2. is a longitudinal sec tional view of certain parts of Fig. 1; Fig.
3 is a cross sectional view on the line of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a View of one of the sections of the spout; Fig. 5 is a, view showing positions of two sections of the spout when being assembled or disassembled, and Figs.-
6 and 7 are views of modified forms.
In the form shown the reference numeral 10 indicates a suitable elevator or conveyer,
preferably for grain, seed etc'., provided with" a hood 11. The r'ecelving' hopper 12 of the spout is attached to the hoed;-andthe I hopper "ai'id u' per spout section or member 13 are jointe or connected together by any suitable swivel or rotatable connections 14 in a manner now well understood in the art whereby the spout may be turned or pointed in any direction away from the conveyer or elevator and at any desired curve'or elevation.
' The head-section or member 15 of the spout is pivoted as'at 16-to the section 13, and like the succeeding sections or members 17 is preferably made half-round in crosssection or'with'an open to and is provided with flanges 18 at Its si es. The sections IIIIIOIIZIILTIE, ILLINOIS,--LL ,CORPOBA TION 0! Application filed necemberlq, 1909;. Serial No. 532,311.
?17 are connected to each other and to the latter purpose the'free end of the head-sec- !tions 15 and one end of'each of the other upper face with a flexible seat 19 formed by sultably shaping a leaf spring 20 near the spout section as at 21, and the other end of each section 17 is provided with a collar 22 having upwardly projecting ears 23 adapted to enter eyes or openings 24 in the flanges of' adjacent sections 15 and 17. Each spring is preferably flared or: curved downwardly at its freeend as ati25..f
As shown in Figsfi and .7 .I mayjprovide means tohold the spring ri idly in place after it receives its band; or example I may use a thumb-screw 27 passing through the spring and engaging the associated spout section or a bolt 28 on the spout and a unyielding position.
When the spout. is used it may be made any length desired by merely adding or removing the required number of sections. When alsection is' to be connected to the head-section 15, the ears 23 of the added section 17 are inserted in the eyes 21 of the head-section as shown in Fig. 5 and the sec- ;tion 17 is then slightly swung in the direction of the-arrow in Fig.- 5 to telescope its end over the adjacent end of the head-section and to bring its collar into place in the seat 19 of the spring of the head-section; other sections may be likewise added :to obtain the desired length. The collar -readily passes to its seat in the associated spring as it rides over the flared end thereof and so presses the spring away from its section 'sufiiciently to allow the collar to move into position, when the spring snaps into place over it and holds it against accidental displacement. The sections are thus readily andeasily assembled upon the headsection and upon each other to any desired length. The sections may be readily detached or disassembled by depressing or retractin the spring sufiiciently to free its associate collar, whenthe corresponding section may then be swung back to the position of Fig. 5 and its ears withdrawn from their associated eyes.
The ears are erforated as at 26 whereby suitable 'suspen ing wires or cables may be head section by detachable joints. For thissections 17 except the last is provided on its thumb-nut 29 so that the spring is held in one end which is attached at its other end '00 built-up spout it may be made long enough attached to suspend the s out from the roof or rafters of the crib w on desired. The interlocking of the'collar and its ears on one section -with the spring-seat and eyes of another section provides a rigid joint so that with any number of sections the spout is kept in a true line from end to end without sagging or bendin under its own weight or under the weight 0 the material and will be inclined uniformly from its upper or receiving end to its lower or dischar e end when set at any angle or pitch. It is 0 course understood that in using the spout in a corn crib or granary the hood of the conve er may lead through an opening in the roo or the spout may be attached to the hopper-bottom of the crib cupola to which the conveyer feeds the material. By having a sectional or in the first instance to discharge at the ends of the crib or bin and. so fill the ends and partially fill the middle portion thereof, and then successive sections may be removed to permit the material to fill up thejmiddle portion to its full capacity. While the spout is primarily intended for use with ear corn, shelled corn, small grains, seed, etc., it may of course be used to handle other-materials and in other locations.
The collar forms an offset or enlargemen on the under side of the section to enter the seat of the spring in the associated section,
' although obviously these several parts may be valued as shown for example 1n Fig. 6.
- It is also obvious that the relative arrangement of the offset and "its receiving spring may be varied as to location and that various forms may be employed within the scope I of my invention.
