Abstract
A distributor apparatus is disclosed for spreading materials. The apparatus includes a container having a first and a second end and a first and a second side, the ends and the sides defining therebetween an opening for the reception therein of the materials. The container defines an outlet for the distributing therethrough of the materials. A distributing device is disposed in the vicinity of the outlet, the distributing device being pivotally secured to the container about a pivotal axis. The distributing device further includes a frame, a driven device rotatably secured to the frame for ejecting the materials from the container, a driving device for rotating the driven device such that the materials are moved from the container through the outlet by the driven device so that spreading of the materials from the container is permitted, a drive for driving the driving device and a guide for guiding the driving device between the driven device and the drive. The arrangement is such that an approximate sum of a distance travelled by the driving device from the drive to the driven device plus a further distance travelled by the driving device from the guide to the drive remains consta…
