Abstract:
1. A concrete chute comprising: a first extruded section includes a proximal end and a distal end; a second extruded section includes a proximal end and a distal end; said first and second extruded sections being welded together; a liner adapted to be installed from the distal or front end of the chute for facilitating the insertion and removal of the liner; and a liner retainer mounted at the distal end of the chute to ensure that aggregate does not seep between the liner and the chute, wherein said liner retainer includes a semi-circular member and a weld strip mounted to be spaced above an upper surface of the distal end of the chute for forming a receiving slot for receiving said liner in a fluid tight engagement for forming a seal for preventing aggregate from leaking under the liner of the chute or under a liner of an adjacent chute.
