A top tube section is telescopically connected to a bottom tube section, the top tube section sliding over the bottom tube section and being supported by the support frame. The bottom and top tube sections respectively have inlet and discharge ends. A conveyor belt runs inside the bottom and top tube sections and has a return portion exteriorly of the tube sections. A belt take up mechanism is positioned in the belt return portion and has direction change rollers affixed to the support frame and to the top tube member and movable therewith in order to maintain belt tension in all telescoping positions of the conveyor. | 01-12-2012 |
