ABSTRACT:
A tobacco feeder for elevating bulk tobacco from a lower level input station to a higher level discharge station including a hopper conveyor and a feed conveyor each having a plurality of abutting conveyor slats movable with drive chains along a horizontal run and an inclined run, respectively. The conveyor slats include a planar top surface and integral forward and rearward legs bent at an included angle of less than 90.degree. but greater than 0.degree. with respect to the top surface forming convexly arcuate longitudinal edges. In order to stiffen the conveyor slats, a reinforcing slat is preferably mounted to each conveyor slat, and provides a slat assembly which has pronounced resistance to bending. Alternatively, a roller is mounted beneath the conveyor slat which is movable along a support to prevent bending of the conveyor slats, or a partial reinforcing slat is provided for riding on an elongated support.
