ABSTRACT:
A feeder guide (10) comprises a pair of tube segments (11a, 11b) corresponding to the halves of a tube produced by its vertical bi-section through its axis. The segments are coupled through a hinge means (50) to be relatively movable between positions at which they are, respectively, spread apart and closed together to jointly form a tube assemblage having a central bore (13) with a front bellmouth (19), inward thereof, a throat (18) at which the bore has its minimum transverse dimension, and, rearward of the latter, a taper (25) divergent towards the rear of the bore and of greater transverse dimension throughout than such minimum dimension. The two segments are longitudinally stiffened by two pairs of web flanges (30a, 31a and 30b, 31b) respectively integral therewith and are releasably holdable in said closed position by fastening means (60). In practice, an end length of synthetic resinous pipe is inserted into the rear of the bore and forced into its rear taper to render the guide frictionally held on such end length. Products being pulled through the pipe are then guided by such guide into the opening of such end length in a manner reducing or avoiding snagging of such products on the front end of the pipe.
