摘要

A goods-feeding device for a belt conveyor, especially of the type having a conveyor belt flexible in the transverse direction, has a roller (10) which in the circumferential direction is partially enclosed by a goods-carrying side of the belt of the conveyor and which forms a gap with respect to said side of the belt between the edges thereof. The roller (10) is designed with a plurality of surface areas engaging the roller-enclosing side of the belt and supporting the belt both centrally and at the edges thereof, the roller (10) having in its central part one or more discs (14) forming the central supporting surface areas.
