Patent number: 8967727Abstract: A gravity wagon includes a container for storing grain or other material and a discharge for allowing material to exit the hopper via gravity. A discharge chute and kickback are used to direct the material from the discharge and are coupled via a linkage such that they can be positioned to direct the material exiting the hopper to an area generally to the side of the hopper in a first position or an area generally towards the center of the hopper in a second position. The movement of the discharge chute and the kickback between the first and second positions is facilitated by a pusher or pushing member coupled to the kickback.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Unverferth Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Michael Van Mill, John Walvatne, Daryl Rubner

Patent number: 5980189Abstract: A portable grain cart that has independently operated, endless, rubber belted conveyors for moving material out of the hopper and then discharging the material into a truck or other transport or storage facility. A first rubber belted conveyor is mounted inside of the hopper to pick up the material from the hopper and then discharge the material outside the cart onto a second conveyor which then moves the material into the truck. The outside or discharge conveyor is pivotally mounted so that it can be swung to a number of positions, including a storage position, and it also can be elevated to different heights depending upon the truck or storage facility into which the material is to be discharged.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1998Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: United Farm ToolsInventor: Daryl Rubner
