ABSTRACT:
A lateral discharge chute is located to receive various sized parcels from a tilt tray conveyor with sidewalls which direct the parcels onto a runout conveyor. The discharge chute includes an inclined base wall with the upper edge located immediately adjacent to the conveyor and an upstream wall which curves downwardly to a lateral discharge portion to provide a gradually changing guide surface. A downstream sidewall of the chute is formed with an incline in the direction of travel such that the engagement of the sidewall by the load tends to cause the leading end to ride up on the wall rather than jamming between the upstream and downstream walls. The downstream portion of the base wall is provided with a pair of raised plateaus with interconnecting turning walls between the plateaus and between the base and the first plateau. The turning walls are inclined in the direction of the load movement and are further angularly oriented from the conveyor in the direction of conveyor movement. The second downstream turning wall is at a slightly lesser angle than the first turning wall. The base and sidewall constructions each contribute to reliable discharge of parcels without jamming in the discharge portion.
