Telescopic chute for a mixer truck

A telescopic chute mounted on a mixer truck, said telescopic chute comprising:

• an assemblage of at least two elongated open ended chute sections generally fully nested together with the open ends of said chute sections generally aligned, said chute sections slidably affixed one said chute section to another said chute section to provide means for shortening and lengthening the telescopic chute;
• powered means affixed to at least one said chute section for actuating inward and outward sliding of said chute sections relative to each other;
• chute attachment means affixing the assemblage of chute sections to the mixer truck to receive dispensed flowable material from a drum of the mixer truck, said chute attachment means including pivotal structuring to allow rotational movement of the assemblage of chute sections about a vertical axis, said chute attachment means further including pivotal structuring to allow rotational movement of the assemblage of chute sections about a horizontal axis;
• powered means for actuating the assemblage of chute sections about said horizontal axis;
• manually actuatable control means adapted for actuating said powered means for actuating said rotation of the assemblage of chute sections about said horizontal axis, said control means further adapted for actuating said powered means for actuating sliding of said chute sections relative to each other,
• said control means further including remote switching means positioned to provide means for an operator of said control means to manipulate movement in said telescopic chute while standing closely adjacent a dispensing end of said telescopic chute with said telescopic chute in a lengthened condition.

A telescopic chute mounted on a mixer truck, said telescopic chute comprising:

• an assemblage of at least two elongated open ended and open bottom chute frames generally fully nested together with the open ends of said chute frames generally aligned, said chute frames slidably affixed one said chute frame to another said chute frame by way of removably attached guide and support tracks to provide means for shortening and lengthening the telescopic chute;
• powered means affixed to at least one said chute frame for actuating inward and outward sliding of said chute frames between said generally fully nested and a partially nested position;
• at least one removable liner affixed to each said chute frame providing a replaceable surface for flowable material moving through said telescopic chute to flow against;
• chute attachment means affixing the assemblage of lined chute frames to said mixer truck to receive dispensed flowable material from a drum of said mixer truck, said chute attachment means including pivotal structuring to allow rotational movement of the assemblage of lined chute frames about a vertical axis, powered means for actuating the assemblage of lined chute frames about said vertical axis;
• said chute attachment means further including pivotal structuring to allow rotational movement of the assemblage of lined chute frames about a horizontal axis, powered means for actuating the assemblage of lined chute frames about said horizontal axis;
• manually actuatable control means adapted for actuating said powered means for actuating said rotation of the assemblage of lined chute frames about said horizontal axis, said control means further adapted for actuating said powered means for actuating said rotation of the assemblage of lined chute frames about said vertical axis, said control means further adapted for actuating said powered means for actuating said inward and outward sliding of said chute frames,
• said control means further including remote switching means positioned to provide means for an operator of said control means to manipulate movement in said telescopic chute while standing closely adjacent a dispensing end of said telescopic chute with said telescopic chute in a lengthened condition.
