ABSTRACT:
A guide is provided for the buckets of an endless dredging line comprising an emptying station incorporated into the guide. A system comprising a pair of trolleys and a pulley system is provided to hold each bucket stationary at the emptying station for dumping. The endless line travels over the pulleys, some of which are mounted on the trolleys. When a bucket approaches the emptying station, the trolleys are actuated to travel in opposite directions so as to allow the endless line to move at its normal speed while holding the bucket at the dumping station stationary.
