Abstract:
1. In a conveyor system for transporting material, which is either telescopic or non-telescopic, and in which said system has: a feed section operatively associated with said conveyor system for feeding materials to one end of the conveyor system; a movable feed section operatively associated with said conveyor system for feeding materials to a feed end of the conveyor system, said feed section having opposed side frame members at the feed end thereof, with a conveyor feed between said opposed side frame members; said opposed frame members of said feed section each having associated therewith baffle means, each of said baffle means being, adapted to move between first and second positions upon lateral movement of said feed section; and means for mounting each of said baffle means to a respective one of said side frames to permit one of said baffle means to be placed in a first non-movable position when said feed section laterally moves in a first direction with the other of said baffle means being movable when said feed section moves in said first direction, wherein the improvement comprises said conveyor system being pivotably mounted to said feed section to pivot said conveyor system to pivotably rotate relative to said feed section, and wherein said feed section laterally moves in an opposite second direction, said first baffle means which is non-movable in said first position is movable when said feed section laterally moves in said second opposite direction, said other of said baffle means being non-movable when said feed section moves in said second opposite direction.
