Abstract
A portable multi-sectioned boom concrete conveyor assembly includes a main conveyor boom section and a distal conveyor boom section. The distal conveyor boom section is hinged, relative to the main conveyor boom section, so that the distal conveyor boom section can be adjusted in order to provide concrete to a desired location.
Claims12
A portable multi-sectioned boom concrete conveyor assembly, comprising:
- a main conveyor boom section with a first main conveyor belt and a first end rotatable about a main conveyor base joint, the main conveyor section having a distal end;
- a transfer chute section mounted at the distal end of the main conveyor boom section that is situated to receive construction material from the first main conveyor belt and direct the material downward;
- a rotatable pass through section having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the lower portion is coupled to the upper portion about a revolution joint that allows the lower portion to rotate with respect to the upper portion, and wherein the upper portion is coupled to the transfer chute section in a hinged manner;
- a distal conveyor boom section that is coupled to the lower portion of the rotatable pass through section, the distal conveyor boom section having a second main conveyor belt spanning from a first end of the distal conveyor boom section to a second end of the distal conveyor boom section;
- a feeder conveyor with a belt operably configured to transport the construction material to the first main conveyor belt at the first end of the proximal main conveyor boom section;
- and
- wherein the first and second main conveyor belts are operably configured to cooperatively transport the construction material toward the second end of the distal conveyor boom section.

A portable multi-sectioned boom concrete conveyor assembly, comprising:
- a main conveyor boom section having at least one fixed portion and at least one extendible portion arranged in a telescoping arrangement, the main conveyor boom section having a first main conveyor belt and a distal end;
- a transfer chute section mounted at the distal end of the main conveyor boom section that is positioned to receive construction material from the first main conveyor belt and direct the construction material downward;
- a rotatable pass through section having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the lower portion is coupled to the upper portion about a revolution joint that allows the lower portion to rotate with respect to the upper portion, and wherein the upper portion is coupled to the transfer chute section in a hinged manner, wherein the rotatable pass through section is configured to allow construction material passing through the transfer chute section to also pass through the rotatable pass through section;
- and
- a distal conveyor boom section that is coupled to the lower portion of the rotatable pass through section, the distal conveyor boom section having a second main conveyor belt spanning from a first end of the distal conveyor boom section to a second end of the distal conveyor boom section, wherein the distal conveyor boom section is movable between a position under the main conveyor boom section and an extended position in which the distal conveyor boom section is extended forward of the distal end of the main conveyor boom section.
