ABSTRACT:
A grain distributor (10) comprises a sector-shaped housing (12) with a plurality of hoppers (22) secured to the arcuate end of the housing (12) and a plurality of intake spouts (32) directed to the upper end of the housing (12). A plurality of swinging spouts (42) are provided within the housing (12), each swinging spout corresponding to a single intake spout. Each spout (42) is mounted for independent movement within the housing (12) such that a lower end (50) of each spout may be disposed in registration with a hopper (22) while maintaining an upper end (46) in registry with one of the intake spouts (32). Each spout (42) is driven by a rotatable shaft (64) having a slotted nut (74) journaled thereon which is pivotably connected to the spout (42). The shaft (64) is driven by a reversible motor (70). Microswitches (88) are mounted to rails (82) and positioned adjacent each hopper (22 ) in order to send a signal to a control panel (120) when the spout (42) is in registry with the hopper (22).
