  • Patent number: 6422803
    Abstract: A discharge system with dual doors and an intermediate auger for dispensing materials from a storage receptacle either beneath the receptacle or remotely. The operator may select to discharge stored materials beneath the receptacle by opening an upper door and lower door to permit gravitational discharge from the receptacle. An intermediate auger is remotely coupled to an auger system for remote discharge. The auger system comprises two discrete sections selectively coupled by a pivot assembly. During coupling, the second section arcuately moves from a stowed position into a discharge position wherein receptive contact is established with the first section. The first section comprises an elongated conveyor disposed between the upper and lower doors to receive dispensed materials for subsequent output adjacent the trailer periphery.
