Spiral Chute

Abstract

A spiral chute includes a center column assembly having a column. The spiral chute further includes a plurality of support arm mounting brackets affixed to an exterior of the column in a spiral configuration. The spiral chute also includes a plurality of chute segments. Each chute segment includes a support arm having a distal end and a proximal end, a stiffener coupled to the distal end of the support arm, and a chute section operatively coupled to the support arm and the stiffener. The proximal end of each of the plurality of support arms is removably coupled to a respective support arm mounting bracket. A method of constructing a spiral chute is also disclosed.
