ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating belt feeder for distributing material from a common supply point into a selected one of a plurality of elongated feed bins arranged in parallel rows in end to end relation includes an elongated conveyor frame with a reversible belt supported on the frame. A drive pinion engages the frame for reciprocally moving the conveyor longitudinally between opposite ends of the rows of feed bins. A clamp device is provided for selectively holding and releasing a run of the conveyor belt and a discharge chute is mounted at each end of the conveyor for selectively discharging material from the belt into a selected bin in a selected row. An automatic control is provided for operating the clamping device to clamp and hold the belt when the frame is driven in one direction relative to the bins and to release the belt when the frame is driven in an opposite direction, and a selector is provided for reversing the sequence of holding and releasing the belt in relation to the direction of travel of the frame relative to the supply point.
