ABSTRACT:
A boot is disclosed for connecting an automatic feeding system bin to a conveyor. The internal pressure of feed flowing from the bin to the conveyor is reduced by a boot collar. The cross-sectional area of the flow is reduced by an attached upper boot member. The associated conveyor can be located at any of a number of angularly spaced positions by a collar-upper boot member interconnection. A regulator is included to adjust the maximum feed flow and to halt the flow, thereby permitting downstream parts to be removed. If desired, a lower boot member can be included to introduce the feed flow to the conveyor, and an associated sensor can halt the conveyor when the absence of feed in the lower boot member is sensed.
