A mechanism for connecting two trough sections of a conveyor trough comprises connecting bolts which have heads on both sides and bridge the joints between the sections and are inserted in receivers which are provided in the section walls and are accessible from the inside of the upper trough portion. The bolt shanks have a rectangular cross section and are inserted through slots which are narrower than the broader side of the bolt shank. Upon inserting, the bolts are turned and arrested in transverse position relative to the insertion slot.
