Title: Apparatus for distributing material into a storage room, silo and the like

Abstract: In distributing material, such as stalks, leaves and the like, by means of a tubular conveyor into a storage space, the outlet section of the conveyor is positioned within the upper end of the space and is supported so that it can be pivoted in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis. The outlet end of the conveyor is supported from a vertical column centered within the storage space so that it can be moved along a circular path about the column for the uniform distribution of the material. The outlet section of the conveyor is made up of a number of telescopically arranged sections movably supported from a guide rail which is also pivotally supported. The position of the outlet end of the conveyor relative to the center column can be varied to change the radius of the arcuate path travelled by the outlet end.
