Telescoping flow control discharge spout assembly for a conveyor of granular material

A telescoping spout assembly for distributing a granular material from an elongated conveyor having a housing with a laterally projecting discharge portion defining an outlet and adapted to distribute grain from an incline discharge auger conveyor of a grain cart, said spout assembly comprising

• a tubular inner spout section pivotally connected to said discharge portion of said conveyor housing,
• a tubular outer spout section surrounds and slides over said inner spout section for telescopic movement relative to said inner spout section,
• a remotely controlled first actuator connected to pivot said inner spout section relative to said discharge portion of said conveyor housing, and
• a second actuator connecting said outer spout section to said conveyor housing and effective to telescope said outer spout section from a retracted position to an extended position relative to said inner spout section for providing increase lateral distribution of the granular material from said conveyor when said outer spout section is in said extended position.

• an inner spout section pivotally connected to said discharge portion of said conveyor housing,
• an outer spout section supported by said inner spout section for telescopic movement relative to said inner spout section,
• a remotely controlled first actuator connected to pivot said inner spout section and said outer spout section relative to said discharge portion of said conveyor housing,
• a second actuator connected to said outer spout section and effective to telescope said outer spout section from a retracted position to an extended position relative to said inner spout section, and
• the vertical distance between the bottom of said outer spout section and the top end of said conveyor housing is substantially the same when said outer spout section is in said retracted position and in said extended position.
