Abstract
A foldable framework for supporting a belt conveyor which comprises a fixed sloping support frame (1,2), a movable support frame (4,5) connected to an upper end of the fixed frame with a first universal type connection (3), and a support leg (6) connected at its lower end to the fixed frame (1,2) with a second universal type connection (9) and connected at its upper end to the movable frame (4,5). A power-operated device (8) is connected between the support leg (6) and the movable frame (4,5). The power-operated device is operative to cause the movable frame (4,5) to pivot about the first universal type connection (3) between an operative conveyor-support position and a laterally displaced, inoperative position suitable for storage and transport of the framework and any conveyor supported thereby.
