Multi-section discharge chute

A multi-section chute of a type suitable discharging material from a source to a desired receiving location, comprising:

• (a) a plurality of elongate non-metallic, generally arcuate chute sections, each having a wall with a low friction concave inside surface configuration and a convex outer configuration wherein each said chute section includes a pair of flanking longitudinal channel shapes along and integral to longitudinal edges of said wall and a central longitudinal rib, said channel shapes and said rib re-enforcing said chute section against longitudinal bending, and a dual hook and pocket fastening assembly for removably joining each of said plurality of chute sections together in a consecutive longitudinal arrangement;
• (b) wherein said plurality of elongate chute sections further comprise interlocking cooperating nesting/stacking configurations that enable formation of a compact stable interconnecting nesting stacked storage arrangement;
• (c) wherein said longitudinal channel shapes extend generally along an entire length of the outside of said longitudinal edges of said chute sections and provide extended hand-hold areas for lifting and manipulating said chute sections;
• and
• (d) wherein said fastening assembly comprises a dual hook and pocket pin arrangement which includes separate hook members partially embedded in said longitudinal channel shapes.
