In a belt conveyor (10) with two conveying parts (11, 12) forming an adjustable angle with each other and a continuous conveyor belt (25), the conveying parts (11, 12) are interconnected via an articulation pin which extends at a distance from the upper section position (28) of the conveyor belt (25). As a result, the overlapping of side cheeks (44, 45), which extend on both sides along the conveyor belt and project beyond its upper section position (28), can be preserved in the entire adjustment range and the formation of gusset-like openings can be avoided. One of the deflection rollers (38) guiding the continuous conveyor belt (25) is mounted movably in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt and supported elastically yieldingly in such a manner that automatic length compensation (40, 41, 42) takes place during pivoting of the conveying parts towards one another. …IMAGE…
