Abstract
A junction for torque transmittingly connecting adjacent sections of an auger type conveyor eliminates the need for hanger bearings between conveyor sections. The junction includes a cylindrical sleeve having an external helix inclined to force conveyed material in an upstream direction in the area between the sleeve and trough and thus exert a lifting force on the junction. The sleeve includes a flow passage in registry with the helix and may include internal auger segments which mate with the conveyor sections.
