  • Bucket distribution system
    Patent number: 5038910
    Abstract: A bucket distribution system for receiving products at an infeed station and selectively discharging the products at a plurality of distribution stations. A plurality of buckets travel in a continuous path and each receive a predetermined portion of products at an infeed station. Bucket trip apparatus at each of the discharge stations selectively pivots the buckets in a direction opposite to the direction of bucket travel to cause the buckets to discharge products therein. Feeders at primary distribution stations are adapted to roll in and out of position for servicing. Products may recirculate within the system to thereby reduce the amount of products taken off-line.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 1990
    Date of Patent: August 13, 1991
    Assignee: Meyer Machine Company
    Inventors: Jimmie F. Lassiter, Jr., David R. Slager
