Abstract
A chip discharge chute having a flexible chute main section having an upstream end connectable from a chipping machine output, a main section elevation mechanism connected to the downstream end of the chute main section for controlling a height of the downstream end of the flexible main section with respect to a chip receiving area, and a chute deflector section pivotably connected to the downstream end of the flexible main section for receiving chips from the downstream end of the chute main section and a downstream end with a downwardly directed ejection opening for discharging chips into the chip receiving area. The chute deflector section is rotated out of alignment with the chute main section so that the chip discharge path includes only the chute main section when the chips are to be discharged along the horizontal trajectory and is rotated into alignment with the chute main section so that the chip discharge path includes both the chute main section and the chute deflector section when the chips are to be discharged along the generally vertically downward trajectory.
