Abstract: An offset assembly (20) for a gravity-conveyor chute (10) includes offset upstream and downstream tubes (18 and 22) which are hingedly attached one to the other, with an upstream end opening (66) of the offset downstream tube being significantly larger than outer dimensions of a downstream end (44) of the offset upstream tube. The offset upstream and downstream tubes are rectangular in cross section with each including hinge mounts which extend laterally, outwardly, from outside surfaces of panels thereof. The downstream end of the offset upstream tube terminates in a plane which forms an angle with an axis of elongation of the offset upstream tube. The offset upstream tube has a side opening with a ledge and a door thereat.
