A conveyor for a patty-forming apparatus is supported in cantilever fashion on support rods from the patty-forming apparatus. The conveyor includes an easi ly operated toggle mechanism to elevate the conveyor at a downstream end to facilitate sliding displacement of at least a portion of the conveyor on the support rods to gain access to portions of the apparatus. Particularly, the invention provides a lever action mechanism that tips the conveyor to raise a discharge end of conveyor. This mechanism facilitates sliding the conveyor o ut for access to knockout plungers of the apparatus. Elevation adjustment assemblies are arranged between the conveyor and the support rods. The set o f the elevation assemblies is not affected by operation of the toggle mechanis m.
