Claim Text:
1. A system for delivery of dry bulk material, the system comprising: a down spout; an adjustable spout end main body having an exit end which is rigidly coupled to a stationary structure; and an adjustable spout end main body sliding top section, coupled to said adjustable spout end main body so as to be pivotable with respect to said adjustable spout end main body, and said adjustable spout end main body sliding top section is configured with a port for receiving therein said down spout; said adjustable spout end main body sliding top section is variably positionable over a range of angles and thereby defines an angularly variable dry bulk material flow path; wherein said adjustable spout end main body has an impact side which is angled upwardly from horizontal, so as to cause a dry bulk flowing material which is incident thereon to flow upward briefly until momentum is lost and then fall backwards to then collide with incoming dry bulk material which has not yet impacted the impact side; and a down spout projection which is projected, in variable positions, onto a portion of said impact side depending upon an orientation of said adjustable spout end main body sliding top section so that at intermediate angles of said adjustable spout end main body sliding top section, said down spout projection is centrally disposed on said impact side.
