  • Patent number: 4603775
    Abstract: A coupling between two auger conveyor tubes is formed from three linkages providing rotation about fixed axes arranged mutually at right angles. The coupling is formed by a pair of coaxial rings coupled by pivot pins, a second pivot pin connection and a rotational sliding fit connection between a spout of the first auger and one of the sleeves or between an inlet opening of the second auger and one of the sleeves. The coupling arrangement allows the use with a main auger of a feed auger which can be pivoted relative to the inlet of the main auger to a storage position and to various working positions to accommodate varying ground conditions and varying positions of discharge of the material to be conveyed.
