Abstract

Support mechanisms for an endless load-carrying belt for causing it to trough in the region of a loading point, the support mechanisms being constituted by a troughing mat extending completely across the conveyor, the opposite ends of the troughing mat being secured to bearers disposed on opposite sides of the conveyor and capable of being angularly adjusted to suit the degree of troughing required. Screws are provided for adjusting the positions of the bearers on angularly adjustable brackets by which they are carried so that a height adjustment of the troughing mat can accompany an angular adjustment of the bearers.
