Abstract

A flowable material delivering vehicle in combination with a material dispensing system including a fixed conveyor extending continuously from a position located adjacent a vehicle container outlet aperture to a position located adjacent a vehicle cab front end. A dispensing adapter is attached to the vehicle for receiving a portion of the flowable material when the latter emanates from the fixed conveyor. In one embodiment, the dispensing adapter includes a pivotable conveyor pivotally attached to the vehicle and a configuring mechanism. The configuring mechanism allows the pivotable conveyor to pivot between a stowed configuration wherein it lies in a generally proximal and parallel relationship relative to an edge of the vehicle and a working configuration wherein the pivotable conveyor extends away from the vehicle so as to allow discharging of the flowable material away from the vehicle. In another embodiment, the dispensing adapter includes a dispensing chute defining a chute inlet end positioned adjacent the fixed conveyor discharge section, a laterally and downwardly extending chute body and a chute outlet end positioned laterally relative to the vehicle.
