Abstract
A loading trimmer for dispersing granular material from a loading chute in an adjustable trajector into the hold of a ship or the like. A trimmer carriage with spaced drums carrying an endless belt is positioned below the chute outlet and pivotal about the center of a pair of idler wheels which centrally engage the belt on either side thereof to form an arcuate material receiving and dispersing path. One of the drums is driven by a motor mounted on a remote pivotal platform connected to the trimmer carriage by connecting rods. The carriage is also connected to a remote crank through connecting rods and the crank is driven by a motor which controls the angle of the carriage with respect to the chute and the trajectory of the dispersion.
