Abstract
A return roller is pivotally supported in a frame-fixed articulation region () of a belt conveyor device having a transport belt. A pivot arm () extends in a running direction (L) of the transport belt, orthogonal to a longitudinal axis () of the return roller, supporting it about the longitudinal axis. A pivot element () is spaced apart from the return roller in the running direction. A pivot bearing () is arranged on the articulation region for mounting the pivot element for a pivoting movement of the pivot arm around a pivot axis between an operating position and an nonoperating position of the return roller. A bearing surface (), in a section perpendicular to the pivot axis, is formed as an open arc, with an opening () having a center angle (φ) of less than 180°.
