I, ZYGMUNT ADAM SZANIAWSKY of Zegrzyneck in the Empire of Russia Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a simplified contrivance for receiving grain at different
places from endless belt-transporters.
For this purpose a roller is journalled on a displaceable carriage so that it can
be vertically displaced for permitting the upper part of the band or strap to be
pressed down at the required place so as to cause the grain to fall into a shoot
which carries it off to the side.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section.
Fig. 2 a cross section, of the improved apparatus.
An endless belt 6 runs on the upper supporting rollers co' and lower supporting
rollers 8 8¹. The supporting rollers are preferably fastened to the beams uu of the
building. The upper supporting rollers c c¹ are journalled on standards t. Parallel
with the belt are placed wooden or iron rails along which the unloading appa-
ratus may be shifted. This apparatus consists of the frame de supported on four
wheels f. f. f. f
The frame de is provided with vertical recesses w in which
and win which are journalled the roller a and an axle o.
situated two tooth wheels i which gear into two racks k and k¹.
the hand crank h
slide two blocks w³
On the shaft o are
The shaft a carries
When turning the crank h the roller a is moved up or down by the wheels i i
gearing into the racks k k¹. On the framing & is pivoted a handle / having two
circular recesses y and y¹ in which the shaft a of the roller a is lodged when it is
in its higher or lower position. The shoot consists on an upper funnel 'p. supported
by the axle o and receiving the grain falling off the strap, and a lower tube r con-
nected with the part p so as to be revolvable for carrying the grain to either side.
This outlet pipe r is secured at any suitable height by means of the chain z. fixed
to the same.

page_text: The bolts 1 and 2 serve to secure the carriage by being introduced through the
frame into the brackets 3 and 4. fastened to the rails vand v³.
For unloading grain at any desired place from the belt, the carriage is brought
to the required place and there secured by the bolts 1 and 2-This unloading can
only take place in the immediate vicinity of a supporting roller as it is only there
that the strap can be pressed down so as to cause the grain to fall into the shoot.
Subsequently the roller a is shifted downward by aid of the crank h whereby the
upper part of the strap is pressed down. The grain carried by the strap now falls
into the receiving funnel p.
For unloading at another place or stage the roller a is raised, also the pipe r, the
bolts 1 and 2 are, pulled out and the carriage brought to the desired place.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is,
In transportable unloading apparatus for endless belt transporters.
(1) A vertically displaceable roller which so depresses a belt before a sup-
porting roller that the grain falls over into a shoot substantially as described and
illustrated.
(2) For operating the displacement of the roller and securing the same, the
combination of tooth wheels i i¹ racks k k¹ and pivoted catch Z
(3) A receiving shoot for the grain consisting of a stationary funnel P and a bent
tuber revolveable on the same, substantially as illustrated and described.
