Abstract
An improved auger assembly for providing a sealed path for transport of grain. The improved auger assembly includes a first angularly adjustable hopper tube, a second hopper tube, and a joint mechanism. The first angularly adjustable hopper tube contains a first auger for transporting grain from a first grain-containing volume. The second hopper tube contains a second auger for transporting grain to a second grain-containing volume. The joint mechanism couples the first and second hopper tubes and allows the grain transported by the first auger from the first grain-containing volume to be further transported by the second auger to the second grain-containing volume. The joint mechanism includes flexible flaps that sealably couple the first hopper tube and the second hopper tube at all angular orientations of the first hopper tube relative to the second tube.
