  • Distributor for particulate material
    Patent number: 4169559
    Abstract: A distributor for a particulate material is mountable on a portable container having a rear discharge chute, and includes a hopper for receiving material from the discharge chute, and spreader means mounted below the hopper for spreading the material. The distributor further includes means for pivotally securing the hopper to the discharge chute, so that the hopper and spreader are movable as a unit between an operating position, in which the hopper and spreader depend from the discharge chute, and an elevated storage position, in which the hopper and spreader are located above the base of the container. A winch and cable assembly moves the hopper and spreader between the operating position and the storage position.
