Abstract
A conveyor provided with an endless conveyor belt making a curve, which near its ends is passed over rollers journalled in a frame, and which can be driven during operation. A collar is provided near one edge of the belt located on the outer side of the curve, which collar is engaged by guide rollers supported by the frame. A guide roller engaging a collar is capable of pivoting movement about a pivot axis, which extends at least substantially parallel to the belt part supporting the collar and which, as seen in a longitudinal direction, is located on the side of the collar remote from the side that cooperates with the guide roller. Furthermore a mechanism is provided by which the guide roller can be locked against being pivoted about the pivot axis when the guide roller is in engagement with the collar.
