ABSTRACT:
A telescoping auger shaft is provided that distributes slurry material throughout a spreader box of variable width in a paving system. The telescoping auger shaft comprises a first shaft positioned coaxially with and engaging a second shaft such that the second shaft is operable to extend with respect to the first shaft while remaining engaged with the first shaft. The two shafts can form a combined shaft of variable length. The telescoping auger shaft further comprises two sections of auger flighting, one coupled to the first shaft and one coupled to the second shaft. The two sections of auger flighting are operable to distribute slurry material in a spreader box when the first shaft and the second shaft are rotated. The first shaft includes a guide portion. A guide element is coupled to second shaft and engages with the guide portion. When the second shaft is extended with respect to the first shaft, the guide element can cause the second shaft to rotate with respect to the first shaft.
