ABSTRACT:
A pivoted bucket conveyor is disclosed in which pivotally mounted buckets carried by a chain conveyor is provided with the buckets normally arranged to travel in a horizontal position across a reject station and, upon receipt of a signal from an inspection station, to pivot and discharge their contents at the reject station. A flexible bucket guide member is provided at the reject station to engage beneath projections on the sides of the buckets and guide the buckets across the reject station. Pins carried by a second chain conveyor engage and support the flexible bucket guide member at points between each bucket and permit the flexible guide member to be deflected upon dumping of a bucket at a position beneath the bucket being dumped and still direct movement of adjacent buckets. Modified forms of guide members are also disclosed to stabilize and direct movement of all buckets other than the particular bucket being pivoted or dumped.
