A bustle gate pivot mechanism includes a multisided container. A first seal is disposed about a first end portion of the container. A first pivot mechanism is connected to a first one of the sides and includes a first link extending therefrom and pivotally connected thereto. A second pivot mechanism is connected to the first link at a distance from the first pivot mechanism and is pivotal therewith and includes a second link extending therefrom and pivotally connected thereto. A bustle gate is connected to the second link at a distance from the second pivot mechanism and is pivotal therewith. A second seal is disposed about the gate. The gate is pivotal about the second pivot mechanism for selectingly engaging and disengaging the first and second seals. The gate and the first link are furthermore pivotal about the first pivot mechanism for selectively positioning the gate proximate to and remote from the first end portion.
