ABSTRACT:
An improved discharge chute for a material handling system. The chute includes a generally elongated rectangularly shaped support backing. A sheet of low friction, wear resistant polymeric material is bonded to the upper surface of the support backing. In the preferred embodiment, the polymeric material is high density, textured polyethylene between about 15 and 50 mils in thickness. A second sheet of polymeric material is bonded to the lower surface of the support backing to prevent warping of the backing. A support frame is attached to the support backing for positioning one end of the chute adjacent to the discharge portion of the material handling system and the other end of the chute adjacent to a receiving station. Finally, a pair of dividers attached to the opposite sides of the support backing for confining the goods being discharged by the material handling system. The dividers include opposing legs extending parallel and spaced apart to one another for receiving the adjacent edges of the chute and forming a joint with the upper and lower surfaces of the chute. A second pair of opposing legs receive the adjacent edges of a second chute and forming a joint with the upper and lower surfaces of the second chute.
