chute
Downward delivery passage
A chute is a narrow channel or slide for moving things downward—water, coal, garbage, or laundry.
Playground slides are sometimes called chutes.
A parachute is shortened to chute in casual speech: The chute opened just in time.
In rodeos, a chute is the narrow enclosure from which animals are released.
