ABSTRACT:
The present invention defines a transit mixer for the delivery of materials to a job site. The transit mixer has a charge hopper for receiving material therein and delivering the material to the mixing drum which forms a portion of the transit mixer. The charge hopper has an inlet that is stationary with respect to the vehicle chassis, and a tongue member that is pivotally coupled to the inlet portion. A powered cylinder is coupled between the inlet portion and the tongue portion for allowing the switching between a material charging state and a discharging state. The inlet portion and the tongue portion are in material communication with one another and upon actuation of the powered cylinder the distal end of the tongue position is moved relative to the inner surface of the mixing drum. Another aspect of the charge hopper is that in the charging mode the tongue extends beyond a pair of flights within the mixing drum.
